Through Fracture-Scaping, I highlight alpine terrain directly onto raw surfaces that were created by the structural failure itself.Pure Medium, Structural Truth
Bound by respect for the material, there is no mechanical reshaping above the base cut, no sculpting, and no synthetic resin. Every work relies solely on targeted heavy-body acrylics to illuminate the natural split topographies— leaving fragile bark and rough-hewn edges preserved as unaltered witnesses to the environment that forged them.Provenance & Stewardship
Each sculpture is linked to its origin through precise geographic coordinates and permanent digital provenance. To honor these ecosystems, an active closed-loop stewardship model redirects 10% of gross sales to local conservation organizations dedicated to protecting the specific region of harvest.Navigate to...
