I came about creating, by walking and exploring the many wooded and off set byways this special environment presents. I look for what nature offers for re-use in a design manner that may appeal to what I call the “ Outside Inside”. The vast majority of what is offered, is locally foraged from such wanderings and each represent a unique challenge in their transformation. Thank you and keep wandering….

After a long period, returned to earth and found to have been unchanged, still maintaining their ability to photosynthesize and grow. They are not parasites living off plants , but a unique independent miniature ecosystem, living on almost any surface- rock walls, roofs, gravestones, Arctic tundra, dry desert, toxic slag heaps and even inside rocks! One of earths oldest living organism. They are a wonderful phenomenon and when I find them, I love to incorporate them into my work. Just spray a little water once and awhile and your piece will rebound with a robust lichen offering. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61acfaf0b2d1b12c94e40822/3058c115-bada-4b12-a44b-5f289de7eae1/brk2.JPG Transformations - BARK When you see a tree what do you see? Answer- a tree But it is more than that. Every season a tree”s girth is expanding- all the action is within a thin layer of growth that provides the tree with the necessary “ plumbing” to feed itself. Thus, the tree needs to make way for a new layer every season to continue the process. The result is continuation of “rings” . Each ring is a representation of the last season’s growth environment. Hence, they can help us interpret the age of a tree and the environmental condition. Meanwhile, the tree is expanding its girth and like fitting into tight jeans, something has to give. In a tree’s case- as it matures (not all species) the result are bursting open into a variety of textured shapes and thicknesses that form the “ outer bark”. The older the tree the more pronounced this effect is. Those fissures, furrows and scales etc. are unique to each species, I seek them out and try to present them in a form that maintains their natural integrity. https://www.woodstumpworks.com/what-we-do daily 0.75 2021-12-25 https://www.woodstumpworks.com/nature-elves daily 0.75 2024-01-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61acfaf0b2d1b12c94e40822/3326dbc4-19c0-406a-ac64-b76e815b7c96/elftree+2jpeg.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61acfaf0b2d1b12c94e40822/671ec1a1-8171-43d1-aa05-15db9b88acfb/elf4HEIC.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61acfaf0b2d1b12c94e40822/753c0a90-80ca-4b9a-a82f-138dd315c98e/elf+2.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61acfaf0b2d1b12c94e40822/3e40366b-12da-492e-bcbd-5099391c40f1/bird+girl.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61acfaf0b2d1b12c94e40822/b1681395-1840-414c-ba9b-f843ddac8d6c/Gibson+girl+2.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61acfaf0b2d1b12c94e40822/ba0872c1-2200-43ff-8fe2-dec409a4e031/elf3.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61acfaf0b2d1b12c94e40822/961c0410-dba6-4373-bb56-996f0b7994da/elf+6.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61acfaf0b2d1b12c94e40822/e7cfd580-9f6d-4e00-9f33-d214b9687a81/carta+maranda+2.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61acfaf0b2d1b12c94e40822/b8e0dcda-c51e-482e-857c-4ade2dae24e3/Flyboy%3Astand.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61acfaf0b2d1b12c94e40822/b99e974a-ea53-4cf2-8f08-514f235a1394/Ice+Girl.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61acfaf0b2d1b12c94e40822/b045a3fe-5810-429d-976d-a6894c61dd32/bronzy.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61acfaf0b2d1b12c94e40822/f5bcec20-d1a5-4c61-90d6-938da9d3686a/xmas+boy.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61acfaf0b2d1b12c94e40822/326eb201-8ef1-4e2f-bb35-24e1b7300a0c/elfboyeic.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61acfaf0b2d1b12c94e40822/459f7746-8a40-4d70-909b-e8e5522a061d/birdstand.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61acfaf0b2d1b12c94e40822/523cb90e-9c86-4e8e-bb50-c4319da75e9d/IBerry+bird.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61acfaf0b2d1b12c94e40822/29852b88-745a-4b50-9e90-98e1cf0e2047/IMG_1089.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61acfaf0b2d1b12c94e40822/c4c10443-aca2-43b5-ac63-ab39245f86bd/Snow+queen.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61acfaf0b2d1b12c94e40822/a79ba56d-440a-4231-8b55-844d6d52a623/IMG_1095.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61acfaf0b2d1b12c94e40822/4d00fe39-59f8-4699-a93d-866320cd55e1/berry+girl.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61acfaf0b2d1b12c94e40822/21d89bd3-096e-4345-b366-58033f0ae083/sea+girl.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61acfaf0b2d1b12c94e40822/2c59deaa-c07d-46de-919d-924f078e4172/frost+girl+on+stand.jpg https://www.woodstumpworks.com/portfolio daily 0.75 2025-02-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61acfaf0b2d1b12c94e40822/f5ed405b-e225-4d82-be30-e075c1c7fc96/shell+bouquet+light.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61acfaf0b2d1b12c94e40822/81338d1c-8193-44ba-9e0a-9b4c6062bf43/elftree+2jpeg.jpg https://www.woodstumpworks.com/portfolio/new-portfolio-item monthly 0.5 2023-03-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61acfaf0b2d1b12c94e40822/5bd5d2db-ffef-4d2d-83f6-a82d6751373c/holidaybox.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61acfaf0b2d1b12c94e40822/e4dcbd76-4a51-40eb-9237-6c3ba631bfcd/winterberry.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61acfaf0b2d1b12c94e40822/f74e144c-1911-4bae-b4a7-92cf04d131a1/Autumn+box5.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61acfaf0b2d1b12c94e40822/fc98d93e-7d14-4408-ba4b-9b3a4255f84e/Dune+moon.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61acfaf0b2d1b12c94e40822/d48e3a76-aff1-4440-afd9-2083014dd7ab/lightbox+moon41.jpg https://www.woodstumpworks.com/portfolio/bud-vases monthly 0.5 2022-01-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61acfaf0b2d1b12c94e40822/5a1c8289-d7de-4aaa-bf3d-0251f35eee82/large+vase+.jpg Current Work -
