Morph VIII
Morph VIII : Everything about this piece was just plain nuts. It’s one thing to make a curl-over, but to do one that is also on a curve?
Morph VIII | 1′-4″ h, 10″ w, 6″ d | Black Cherry | SOLD

Slender, open front curl and up-swept spire makes a real statement for the size of this Black Cherry wood sculpture. I borrowed some lines from two previous sculptures in the Morph Series…but since it’s my work, I do not feel guilty of plagiarism. You decide.
Morph VII | 1’- 2” h, 7” w, 5”d | Black Cherry | Inquire.
Moab : The more figured a piece of wood is, the simpler the design should be. The two should not be in conflict.
Moab | 2′-0″ h, 1′-4″ w, 10″ d | Bay Laurel Burl | Inquire.
Infinity Rising : My design intent for this highly figured redwood sculpture was to strike a good balance between positive and negative space. To capture its figurative elements and impart a sense of organic life.
Infinity Rising | 1′-10″ h, 1′-1″ w, 10″ d | Distressed Curly Redwood | Inquire.
Morph VI : The lines, movement and proportions just worked so well together. This was another difficult piece to visualize and execute. A real fun challenge.
Morph VI | 1’- 4” h, 10” w, 6” d | Black Cherry | Inquire.
Morph V : I purposely selected a wood whose grain and figure would not strongly distract from my intended design. That’s why I chose the wood I most love – walnut. Solid, straight-grained and unfigured.
Morph V | 10” h, 10” w, 7”d | American Black Walnut | SOLD
Morph III : has a maturity that I hope will carry an entire series in wood, because I’m having way too much fun to stop now. I want to see where it takes me.
Morph III | 9” h, 6” diameter | American Black Walnut | SOLD
First Born : Set aside for almost four years because the refinement and sanding process is a discipline I found lacking in those days!
First Born | 1’-11”h, 7” diameter | Aromatic Red Cedar | SOLD
Split Personality : Comes from the same incredible red cedar as did First Born and Passages Into the Void.
Split Personality | 1′-8″ h, 8″diameter | Aromatic Red Cedar | Inquire.
Morph : Although I’ve often said that I will take my inspiration wherever I can find it, I never expected to find it at a party in a bowl of pot-pourri.
Morph | 1′-0″ h, 8″ diameter | Windshake Walnut | SOLD
New Wave : This piece insisted on showing off soft lines and wide broad surfaces of its grain and texture.
New Wave | 12” h, 1’-8” w, 9” d | Windshake Walnut | SOLD
Monument Mesa : It was a lot of fun for me working this piece – taking the natural formation and imparting sweeping undulations in opposition.
Monument Mesa | 2′-0″ h, 2′-2″ w, 1′-7″d | American Black Walnut | Inquire.
Down Force : like Up Draft, is also a mobius band – this time 25 feet long and sculpted to counter the skeptics!
Down Force | 1’-10” h, 10” square | Basswood | SOLD
I am humbled to have been commissioned and entrusted with this baptismal font project, blessed with the inspiration for its creation, and rewarded by the response of the donors, ministers and congregation to its grace, power & function.

Passages into the Void : When most artists talk about partnering with the work, this is what they mean. And this piece reminds me of that other dimension or realm. There are endless access points or routes to get from the outside to the inside or from one side to the other.
Passages into the Void | 4′-3″ h, 1′-2″ w, 1′-2″ d | Aromatic Red Cedar | Inquire.
