Sycamore carving: Root carving w/ stone. 2010

Root and Stone: In this collection of pieces, root and stone collide as riverside trees dig their roots into densely packed, rocky banks. While most trees’ roots push stones to the side as they plunge into the ground, there are certain species of trees that actually incorporate rocks into their root structure. The result is a confluence of materials in which stones become a semi-permanent part of a tree’s base. As erosion brings these trees down, their rocky roots are left exposed. Carving wood that has stones in it requires a certain degree of creative flexibility and a willingness to move ..read more

This piece I found on the Susquehanna River just south of Sidney, NY, where a fallen Sycamore tree left its roots exposed.  Even as  I watched a bald eagle being attacked by a blueJay on the opposite shore, I balanced on the front tip of my canoe and brushed away thick spider webs to saw off the root pieces that had stone in them. The shape and grain of the root inspired a scaly, creepy vision for this piece. First place winner in the mixed-media amateur sculpture category at the 2010 New York State Fair.

Air plant holder: in progress: unknown tree root (entire base of tree)

Recently I have tried to create some carvings that would serve as air plant holders.  Air plants are plants that don't require soil.  Instead, they grow without attaching to the ground, and they pull moisture from the air to survive.  I water them once a week by soaking them, and they live happily nestled into nooks and crannies of my carvings. What initially inspired me to create carvings that would hold air plants is that I had a couple of river roots that were fantastic pieces, but were completely rotten through the center.  When I carved them, I ended up with the hollowed out shell of a ve ..read more
