Wood provides clean air as it breathes, shade when it’s wearing its leaves and seeds of promise. It lets us take to build with – still showing off its beauty. It decays with grace, feeding and home to small creatures.
Above: “Ladder” commission. Inspired by the ‘Jacobs Ladder’ toy, that you hold up high and click down the little wooden segments attached with a double ribbon. Keeping with wood I make ribbons out of birch bark to connect 5 dry-mounted photos. I take commissions to make any series of 5. They hang about 36″ down x 7″ across. Cost: $300
