Unwind

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.
