“The Static Traveler”

***Currently on display at the Lyons, CO Library along with numerous other of my pieces as part of the dual show, Reconstructing Perspectives. The show runs through July 14.***

27”H x 25”W x 1”D, 2026

Salvaged wood mosaic glued to birch plywood. Finished with polyurethane, linseed oil, mineral spirits, and polished with bees wax mixture.

This piece asks a question about the nature of movement. Does the mind and body physically travel through the world, or is the world simply a series of experiences passing through a still awareness?

While this form appears to slither across separate domains of texture and grain, it serves as a prompt to consider the relationship between the traveler and the path. If awareness is the only constant, perhaps we aren’t moving through space and time at all. Perhaps space and time are moving through us.

I’m very happy to have my piece, The Unknowing, included in The Unknown at , and I’m looking forward to both the opening reception and artist talk.

This piece began when a woodworker in Pennsylvania contacted me and asked if I wanted some of his heart pine scraps containing the pith. I immediately saw the potential in them, and he mailed me a box from across the country. The resulting forms suggested unique, face-like entities that seemed to emerge naturally from the wood itself.

It’s a perfect fit for this exhibition. To me, the piece reflects consciousness’s ability to know itself while paradoxically allowing the ego to soften enough to be at peace with not knowing.

From The Lab on Santa Fe:

Every exhibition is a chance to go further than the last. THE UNKNOWN is a national exhibition co-curated by , working toward our ultimate high-wire act: Can we weave the head, heart, and gut into a single show? Spirituality, existentialism, doubt, faith… can we fall in love with the mystery and the challenge that The Unknown invites us into?

Join us for the Opening Reception this Friday, June 12, from 6:30–8:30 pm.

Also mark your calendar for our Artist Talk on Sunday, June 28, from 1–3 pm.

Advanced Designs, Primate Minds

Salvaged Wood Mosaic

33 x 26 x 1

2026

Precise modern geometry dissolves into flowing, ancient end-grain patterns. While the salvaged timber spans centuries of material time, the primate faces in the vertical element represent our unchanged inner human condition. We are stuck in the friction between technological progress and primal nature.

This was one of the more uncertain pieces I have done in regards to composition. I rearranged these tiles over and over, finally saying enough and just landed with this. The 3 modern looking long grain box designs were a last minute decision. I’m very happy with the way it turned out, sometimes you just have to let go and fall into what is.
