Off the Grid
$ 2,700.00
Wall sculpture. Turned, carved & sand-textured Oak, 24”W x 24”L x 2”D. Inspiration comes from my 38 years as mechanical design engineer. I have drawn on grid paper 1000’s of straight & curved lines. As a wood artist I get to carve and color between & outside the lines.

Ribbon of Oak
This sculpture was carved from some beautiful marbled pin oak. The form was sculpted, deeply sandblasted and coated with linseed oil base finish to enhance the vibrant grain coloring. Dimensions: 36”H x 7.5” W x 7.5”d. The close-up images of the sandblasted textured surface reveal beautiful medullary rays that flow with the form.
Spiral Galaxy 3
This sculpture is a wall-mounted relief carved from a single piece of Black Walnut. The wood grain is a central visual element: layered bands of light and dark tones follow the spiral’s motion, enhancing the sense of rotation and depth. The carving is highly dimensional, with undulating ridges and recessed channels that create dramatic shadows, making the surface feel almost geological or fluid, as if the wood were flowing inward.
The spiral suggests multiple interpretations: a whirlpool, vortex, galaxy, or natural force such as wind or erosion. The central hole acts as a focal point, evoking ideas of origin, collapse, or infinite motion. The slightly irregular lower edge contrasts with the precise square format, reinforcing a tension between natural processes and human design.
Overall, the sculpture feels dynamic and immersive, combining organic texture with strong geometric framing, and invites contemplation of movement, time, and natural energy frozen in wood.
Dims: 13″ H x 30” W x 2″D
