Ribbon in the Wind
$ 3,600.00
Carved from a red oak tree, this sculpture transforms solid wood into an elegant, flowing form that appears to twist and dance in space. Its continuous, undulating curves evoke a ribbon caught in a gentle breeze, capturing a sense of movement, balance, and lightness in a naturally rigid material. The sculptural form draws the eye upward through a series of graceful turns, creating a dynamic interplay between positive and negative space.
The sculpture is shaped through carving and sandblasting, then dyed black to create a dramatic, deep-toned surface. The application of liming wax highlights the raised wood grain with vibrant, silvery pinstripes that follow the contours of the form, emphasizing its movement and texture. Measuring 35 inches high, Ribbon in the Wind celebrates the expressive potential of wood, revealing a striking harmony between natural grain, sculpted form, and the illusion of motion.
Dimensions: 7”D x 10.5” W x 35”H

On Course
This sculpture is a vertically oriented, flowing wall piece made from Ambrosia Maple, shaped into a continuous ribbon-like form. It undulates in a gentle S-curve, creating a rhythmic sequence of concave and convex surfaces that feel both organic and architectural.
The interior faces are light-toned wood with visible grain, knots, and natural figuring that resemble topographic maps or flowing water patterns. These pale surfaces contrast sharply with the darker, reddish-brown wood edging that crisply outlines the form, emphasizing its contours and movement. The edges act almost like a drawn line, guiding the eye up and down the sculpture’s sinuous path.
Though static, the piece strongly suggests motion—like a wave frozen mid-crest, a folded sheet caught in air, or a river carving its way through space. The repetition of scooped forms creates depth and shadow, giving the sculpture a sense of breathing or pulsing as light moves across it.
Overall, it feels meditative and elegant: a balance between control and natural variation, craftsmanship and spontaneity, structure and flow.

Elegance
This is an abstract, organic sculpture carved from ambrosia maple. It rises vertically in a fluid, twisting motion, made up of smooth, interlocking forms that feel almost like petals, leaves, or gently turning flames.
The surface is meticulously polished, allowing the natural wood grain to play a major role in the visual impact. Darker streaks, knots, and subtle imperfections in the grain create movement across the pale body, emphasizing the sculpture’s natural origin rather than hiding it. The curves fold in on themselves, creating negative spaces that give the piece a sense of breath and lightness despite its solid mass.
The overall form feels elegant and rhythmic, suggesting growth, balance, and upward motion—almost as if the sculpture is slowly unfolding or dancing. It’s mounted on a dark, simple base that contrasts with the light wood and grounds the otherwise airy, flowing shape.
The piece blends craftsmanship with abstraction, inviting viewers to interpret it as both a natural form and a refined, intentional work of art.
The form is 30″ Tall x 15″ x 8″, 10 lbs with the base.
