You lie on your back in the middle of a field of grass, heavy seedheads waving above, and watch a plane pass across the perfect blue sky of a summer day. Flying high above agricultural lands in that perfectly sealed and engineered machine you see the...

The tree trunk splits, and splits again, each limb reaching for the sun, leaves taking in energy and releasing oxygen. The river delta braids and divides. The lightning strikes and the neuron fires. We are the products of our family trees, forming our...

Inspired by wood washed up on the shores of the Pacific NW, the forms and wall pieces of the Driftwood series reference both the natural world and the industrial past. Logging built the Pacific Northwest’s local economy and our waterways provided the a...

The Blades series explores shape as a metaphor for human interaction with the natural world. Obsidian, fractured into faceted shards from solid stone, creates a sharp, cutting edge. Hoes till and reap. We can focus on a single blade of grass in the expanse...

Seedpods hold the germ of life. They are receptacles of potential able to burst forth with new growth or slowly dry up into reminders of what could have been. I began working with this particular form at the end of 2009. In the Spring of 2010 I traveled...

This body of work is inspired by the landscape that surrounds us and the touch of human hands upon it. These influences, nature and civilization, intertwine. Each form is a document of the passage of time.   The Earth Forms are a direct response...

Shape clay into a vessel; It is the space within that makes it useful. --Tao Te Ching   The Vessel Series references the nature of vessels as both useful and sacred objects. In it I seek original revelation and wonder, reading fabrics as...
