Trilene2

Vintage and antique French and Czech glass seed beads woven with thread around a real deer skull. Displayed on a repurposed barn wood board with barbed wire. This is bead work, not mosaic work where beads are glued to a strata. One bead at a time is woven, creating what I call a "glass skin," an intricately woven fabric of beads. With this technique, an insanely beautiful texture is produced.

Two intertwined abstracted non-binary human figures twist about each other in a cork screw pattern. Starting from a wood pedestal, the polished yellow-red bronze geometric feeling base flows upwards through very loosely delineated legs, torsos, arms and shoulders. The piece culminates in tilted heads wrapped about each other face to face in a kiss. Though the piece is of two bodies it is hard to tell where one starts and the other ends as you follow the rotating pattern up and down the work.

The Embrace

A sculpture showing 101 handmade wood bead necklaces made from 100 different species of wood, shown here twisted and jumbled together. Each bead is hand carved and strung, each string a different kind of wood. Each string is unique in its size, shape, color, and pattern. Colors range from the deep brown of ebony to the striped medium brown of spalted maple to the lemony yellow of southern pine to the dotted dark brown spots of coco Palm with nearly every natural color of wood in between. The sculpture is designed to be touched and it can be freely rearranged by the viewer to create their own sculpture.
