About Sapele Passage

The Sapele Path is a hole-filled, thick slab of Sapele hardwood that has a pathway of positive space running down its center. I did not have the intention of including what can be seen as a path, or vein, in the center of the wood when I started working on the sculpture - it seemed to just evolve out of the wood.

I see many different things when I look at, into, and through this piece, and I love how its geometry fires my imagination. At its unveiling at my gallery in Dallas the feedback I received during the show made it clear that other were experience that as well.
