I am constantly inspired by wood I gather from my trees after pruning. Over the years I've saved wood given to me by people who have removed trees for some reason. This piece is made from a chunk of black walnut and an amalgam of maple branches. The latter replaces the ship's sails with the outline of a cloud that was made by seamlessly joining 7 pieces of maple that have been painted, sanded and varnished. The ship's hull displays the beauty of walnut from its smooth, mirror-like upper surface to a range of colors towards the bottom. The lower section contains lighter sapwood that is separated from the heartwood by a dark band that suggests a waterline. Above this waterline, the title has been engraved and gilded.

Much of my practice includes collecting and preparing wood from local trees. When I began this process years ago, the material came from friends or neighbors who cut down trees and offered the wood to me. Now I have many trees on my property that may drop large branches. Most require careful and regular pruning. Recently I was forced to take down a sugar maple that was rotting from the inside out. This provided me with a considerable amount material that is dense and quite excellent. It also provided much of the material used to make “Red Fence.” The scroll form in the piece was made with wood I saved from pruning pear trees some years ago. I’d like to think that my work functions like poetry, except it uses forms instead of words to evoke thoughts and feelings that lie deep and barely realized.
