I have several pieces in the Great Green Sculpture show at the PNW Sculptors Gallery. All my pieces are built with local salvaged materials. The opening is Saturday the 19th in Pioneer Place Mall.

These jack stands were donated by a friend who wanted me to transform them into something new. “Surprise me, make anything”, she said.
They bring back fond memories of camping with her grandfather since they were used to set the camper on for every summer family camping trip.
The vinatge label reads ‘Camper Jack: Grants Pass, Oregon’.
The steel top is trimmed with stainless cable.
24″ W x 30″ H
Whether you have a castle or a cottage, these lanterns will provide the atmosphere. They are made with scrap steel and are one-of-a-kind pieces.
The tall shade slides up over the low profile handle to access the candle platform. Its perforated steel gives the light a hypnotizing pixel effect. The wide lantern loads from the top and comes with a recessed handle. The exterior pattern on each was a 2D panel that I cut down and reassembled into a 3D cube.

ORBIT. This piece has many views. You can spin it around to find your favorite. There are five hoops that envelope a solid disc. The largest hoop of diamond plate overlaps underneath like a bow. The 1′ x 2′ base of 1/2″ rebar rod secures it into the ground.

This is the Bubble Trellis. It’s a combination of a laser cut remnant at the top, solid discs of various diameter and hoops of 3/4″ and 1/2″ strap. The base is made of solid 1/2″ steel rod for stable placement in the soil.

The Oak Leaf and Holly Berry Wreath. The leaves are slightly folded while the berries are concave. Each berry is hammered by hand. The materials in this new wreath are copper tubing and steel. Roughly 15″W.
