Flame Series - Caught in the Breeze
Carved from Russian Olive salvaged on Selkirk Avenue. The tree had been hollowed by ants, destined for the fire. This sculpture is part of The Flame Series, a body of work shaped by near-loss, survival, and motion.
This piece leans hard into the wind. Its curve is stretched, off-balance, reaching with resistance. It feels like a flame mid-bend… bending, but not breaking. A defiant shape, elegant in its instability.
The grain flows like air caught in the wood. The movement is tensioned … not perfect, not poised … but powerful. It doesn’t rise clean. It rises anyway.
This is a piece about accepting imbalance,
about grace even in awkwardness,
about burning on, despite the breeze.
