Elemental Finds & Design

Elemental Finds & Design Organic and other found objects formed by the elements of nature. Please contact me if you have a special request for your landscaping or art projects.

Driftwood, fallen trees, reclaimed metal and glass, bone, etc. Never using live wood or removing root systems that are crucial to the integrity of the soil. I field dress all wood pieces to leave as much of nature as I found it (including the critters). Every piece is a process and I am working through my creative process by working with the natural state of the pieces. I collect pieces for myself and other artists.

Shades of Clay

Missouri is rich with clay soils. This abundant material would have been used by Native American peoples several thousand years ago as pottery, pigment and medicine.
These 3 samples came from the same 10'x10' area of a seasonal creek bed.
Processed by means of; grinding, sifting, levigating, baking, 2nd grinding and addition of gum Arabic as emulsifier and hydrator.
