Woodland Looking Glass Series - I




This oval mirror is mounted on a 1" thick oak log cross-section. The perimeter is lined with thin strips of birch bark, and long pieces of Nova Scotia driftwood curve out from the base. One strand of black seaweed is also woven in along the bottom left.

Creeping Black On Silver



Sitting on the hood of the car clicking photo after photo, I finally captured this bolt touching down on the outskirts of Portsmouth, NH....right before my batteries ran out.












After watching that heat lightening streaking across the sky, I created this.
The charred wood was found among the remains of a bonfire on the coast of Nova Scotia, and at the top it's gripped by an antique caliper. On the silvered end lies black seaweed which I soaked until soft and then coiled around a slender piece of driftwood, mimicking a bolt and playing on the contrast of the base.
