Other Weird Stuff

I go hiking with my dog Maxi. I see things that call to me -- things with colors, shapes or textures that cause me to linger. When possible, I bring those things home: bleached bones, dried seed pods, seaweed, tree galls, pitted stones, small branches colonized by myriad lichens. I pile them onto my workbench and wait for them to tell me what they want to be in their next life.

 I don't know what this is going to be. I want to light it from the inside. I'm going to add a lot more stuff to it.

  • Cast concrete base

  • Tree branches embedded in concrete

  • Frilly kelp wrapped at the base

  • Bullwhip kelp tail as woven scaffolding​

  • Red willow shoots with catkins
