Wildfire (2023)
"Wildfire" acrylic on 4 pine wood planks with 2 such planks joined at a perpendicular angle and each right angle positioned at different angles to each other, to allow the openings into its core. There is no cross bracing to interfere with the vertical openings. The wooden planks are secured at the base. Dim. H. 6 feet, W. the dimensions vary depending on the right angle but are approximately 4 to 5 inches (2023)
Comment: This sculpture contains vertical bars of earth-colored acrylic paint interspersed with the natural pinewood surface. The orange vertical stripes symbolize fire, and the blackened swirls inside the core symbolize the charcoal remains and smoke damage to massive redwood trees that survived the wildfires that swept the North Coast several years ago. This sculpture is an attempt to fuse two very different styles: organic and abstract.
