Fracture-Scaping begins with naturally found wood fractures. I read their ridges, recesses, and planes as fields of landscape possibility, using chromatic interpretation to reveal a composition guided by the fracture. The fracture remains the governing form and a participant in authorship.
PRESERVED FORM, PAINTED INTERPRETATION
Interpretation remains confined to naturally fractured surfaces. Unfractured exterior wood and bark are preserved, and expressive fracture geometry is not mechanically reshaped. Minimal preparation is permitted only on the horizontal base plane when required for stable presentation.
PROVENANCE AND STEWARDSHIP
The practice preserves each work’s available connection to its source, while By Nature works require documented geographic provenance and chain of custody.

Cliffside Bog
[1.2c-FSN-2026]
Cliffside Bog evokes a sheltered wetland beneath fractured cliffs, with green and yellow accents gathering among the wood’s natural ridges and hollows. It is the first completed Fracture-Scapes piece to fully adhere to the BY NATURE provenance standard.
