Morph XIV
Morph XIV takes elements from my previous works and becomes a cantilevered, curl-over wood sculpture, as well as a mobius. Unbeknownst to me at the time, it would be part of my inspiration for one of my future glass sculptures, Ode to Morph.
Morph XIV : 1′-4″ h, 10″ w, 6″ d | Black Cherry | Inquire.
Morph XII
Morph XII : One aspect of my designs that I have not discussed much is exemplified in Morph XII. Asymmetry…which I personally define as comfortable unpredictability. It allows walking around this piece, and most of my other work, and seeing different things in the journey.
Morph XII | 1′-6″ h, 10″ w, 6″ d | Black Walnut | SOLD
Morph XI
Morph XI embodies my favorite sweeps and sensuous curves, but it also displays a rather dramatic and extremely stylized human form. In the process, it violates the traditional “Golden Thirds” rule. But my roguish nature likes breaking rules.
Morph XI | 1′-6″ h, 7″ diameter | Bay Laurel | SOLD
Morph X
Morph X : I do love the outcome of the movement and tight undulations. It’s fun to allow your eyes to trace the edge-line along its one, continuous, unbroken curve.
Morph X | 11” h, 7” w, 7”d | Windshake Walnut | Inquire.
Morph IX
Morph IX : The question was “How far can I push the limits, especially in Cherry?”
Morph IX | 1′-3″ h, 11″ w, 6″ d | Black Cherry | SOLD
Chocolate Twist
Chocolate Twist : The execution of Chocolate Twist and Chocolate Twist II proved an immense challenge. How to get inside and around and then sand it? Well, I don’t advise trying this at home.
Chocolate Twist | 9″ h, 12″ diameter | Spalted Black Walnut | Inquire.
Trapeze
Trapeze : Designing Trapeze was as much presenting Nature’s inherent beauty as it was my melding with it. Hanging as a wall sculpture, the piece is oriented as the trees stood, lower trunk at bottom, upper limbs spreading at top.
Trapeze | 18″h, 14″w, 3″d | Crotch Burl Walnut | Wall Sculpture | Inquire.
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
Morph VII
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.
Morph V
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 IV
Morph IV : A long vertical tunnel runs the entire length of the piece. Then it splits open and curls in on itself in a decreasing radius curve.
Morph IV | 1′-4″ h, 7″ dia | Cherry | In the Private Collection of Gaye Gravely Pollitt.
Morph III
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
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
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.
