As bonsai trees are often wired in their training it was not such a stretch to form an entire tree with wire. My self taught process has developed out of necessity to be around such forms and trial and error. I have used trees that I have photographed throughout the years , free form designs as well as trees seen during my Alaskan travels as inspiration. I favor traditional Japanese rules to guide almost every tree design, shape and placement on the base. Most stone bases are collected along Turnigan Arm and the driftwood has been selected from beaches along Kachemack Bay. Wire is chosen for its function and aesthetics . Copper was chosen mainly for garden displays because of it’s ever changing patina and longevity. My designs are crafted to last and all construction techniques take this into account.
I am deriving more and more inspiration from people and their character. Just as a tree twists and turns, our lives do too. Trees just like people reflect their environment, adding to their texture, philosophy and aesthetics. Representations of family trees have been commissioned and are currently in the works
