With a focus on surface finish, texture and contrast I create contemporary sculpture that becomes real and holds meaning.
IN A WORLD OF CONSTANT STIMULATION I SEEK TO CREATE A SINGLE, BALANCED FORM.
Upcoming Events
November 2019 – A Female Narrative, Candace Sanderson, Art Gallery of Grande Prairie
This was my workbench this morning. A male relief carving, one of the fifteen I’m making and while I am usually inspired by the female form there is beauty in every figure and gender. Each with their own narrative. #reliefcarving#woodcarving#figurativesculpture#contemporaryart#sculpture#sculptureinprogress#sculpturestudio
Image transfer onto cherry wood veneer. Presented on maple with cedar strips and a padauk base this is my take on gesture drawings that a person has to walk around to fully enjoy. #gesturedrawings#figurativedrawing#mixedmedia#woodworking#contemporaryart
This morning I was at the beach on Gabriola Island taking photographs of my sculptures. Here’s a sneak preview of what I’ve been working on for my upcoming November exhibition at the Art Gallery of Grande Prairie. #sculpture#woodsculpture#photographingsculpture#artistatwork
The human form and the colour blue. Inspiration and obsession come together to make this image transfer of a charcoal drawing on newsprint onto wood. #figuredrawing#imagetransferonwood#paintingblue#charcoaldrawing
I’m framing up this figure drawing for a group show at the end of the month. I love the contrast between the ballon-like abstracted form and the linear lines of this worn wooden frame. #figuredrawing#abstractfigure#pastelfiguredrawing
I have tried other mediums but working with wood, even a piece of spruce like this one just feels right somehow. A detail of the latest work in-progress. #workinprogress#woodworking#abstractsculpture
