Nantucket Driftwood
To happen upon such a rare and substantial piece of Nantucket driftwood one evening was a unique opportunity given to me many years ago. With respect to terrain, cedar, plywood, copper and mahogany adorn the whale’s structure. These were the same core materials I used to build houses with out here, and they serve as the building blocks for this beautiful island life. The whale is an honest reflection of its unbridled environment—a passionate pursuit of greatness—freedom at its most grandiose scale.

Sculpture
A term used to describe a visual art practice that employs three dimensions. Sculptures can be made of any material however quite often you will find wood, bronze, clay, marble, ceramic, metal and paper as the medium of choice. Sculptures can be free-standing, meaning you can walk or move around them for 360 degrees or they can be relief, meaning an image was carved on a two-dimensional surface. A relief is only partly attached to a background surface. Sculpture is one of the oldest, most durable forms of artistic expression.
