This Pod Sculpture can be viewed at the Florida CraftArt Gallery in St. Petersburg. Standing nearly five feet tall, the sculpture is titled “Turn, Turn, Turn!”
This dynamic work reveals multiple sides of the same movement – one sweeping forward while the other curls gracefully back – as if a single motion has been frozen in time. Rich mahogany tones blend with vibrant blues and golden yellows, creating a visual rhythm that changes with every viewing angle.

Inspired by “Turn! Turn! Turn!” by The Byrds, the sculpture celebrates cycles of growth, renewal, and transformation. Its flowing forms and balanced composition capture the idea that change is constant, and that every ending naturally gives way to a new beginning.

New Pod Sculpture:
Title: Fly Like an Eagle
This Pod Sculpture leans forward in a poised, aerodynamic sweep – warm wood tones layered with a dark edge that cuts like a driving riff. The outer curve arcs away, creating tension and release in one fluid motion. It echoes “Fly Like an Eagle” by Steve Miller Band – smooth, lifted, and carried by a sense of effortless forward glide.

Mainsail Art Festival: Thank you to everyone who purchased a Pod Sculpture, and to the returning collectors who stopped by to say hello—it meant a lot. It was also a wonderful surprise to see Krewe members and friends drop in throughout the show. It was the most successful show ever for selling Pod Sculptures!

Rotate it for a fresh perspective, or position it where it can be experienced from multiple sides. Learn more here: https://podsculptures.com/the-free-standing-collection/

Queen palm seed pods naturally create those elegant sculptural curves because of how the Spathe grows, dries, and releases tension.

1. Fibers grow lengthwise -- The spathe is made of long parallel fibers that run from the base to the tip. These fibers grow tightly packed while the pod is closed, forming a stiff, slightly curved sheath around the flower stalk.

2. Natural seam and internal tension -- A weak line forms along the pod – almost like a zipper. As the flower cluster expands inside, pressure builds along this seam and it spilts open.

3. Drying creates curvature -- When the pod splits and begins to dry, the outer surface shrinks faster than the inner fibers. This causes the piece to curl or twist.

4. Why they look sculptural -- Because the fibers are continuous and the thickness varies, each piece bends in graceful arcs of wood rather than breaking straight.

Every pod develops slightly different stresses, which is why no two pieces open the same way – perfect raw material for the kind of organic abstract forms I use in my Pod Sculptures.
