The poles soar up into the air to heights of up to 21', twisting and undulating but not in direct contact, creating a visually dramatic sculpture that evokes the wonder of nature. I work mostly in wood, often polishing and sanding a single piece for months. Nature and the environment are ever-present themes in my work, and I often "rescue" downed trees from various projects in the city. In 2009, I exhibited "Regatta" in the first Heaven and Earth at Carkeek Park. Born in Holland, immigrated to U.S. in 1960s. Worked quietly as a sculptor for over 20 years.
