Natural Language
The twenty-six letters of the alphabet, found inscribed in the branches of the trees of the forest. Cedar, maple, alder and yew each have their say. Three are blown up large to spell OYE, a Spanish word which means “Hey!”

The Library
Some of these sculptures are split from red cedar, others are hand milled with a chainsaw. The wood is made to look like books without losing its identity as wood. Many aspects of human history, and history itself, depend on the book. Books are ultimately made from trees.

The Seasons
I have been making landscape paintings from a young age. This series considers the changing seasons. The salmon run in the autumn, the winters are dark and sometimes stormy, the spring is good for mushrooms, and the light lingers over long summer afternoons.
