Wall sculpture, found wood, cast plaster, and acrylic paint. Spines, vessels, and life lines. Journey and pathway connecting with nature.
Poetry carved in the rings of trees. Stories told, journeys documented, historic cycles captured in a lifetime. Good years, bad years, prosperity and despair. Embracing the destination. Bombarded with planetary disaster, nature’s fight for preservation, balance, beauty, and survival prevail.
Excavated treasure, biological reliefs of plant, insect, or animal. Replaced by mineral over millennia. Records of the past, respect of the ancient, stories of extinction, and awareness of the life cycle. A sense of beauty and collectability, energy and memory – eternal knowledge and afterlife preserved, with a warning of a future extermination.
