Acrylic on salvaged wood pine beams. 10"x 4"x 2" each, 20" x 8" x 4" set. 2025

This sculptural series began with remnants of heart pine salvaged from the former Tourister factory in Rhode Island. During a basement renovation, I watched my father and brother plane and cut the original beam, and I knew the offcuts deserved another life. These pieces carry the marks of labor, time, and use, yet remain open to transformation.

I approach these forms as resonant objects. As a composer, I’m drawn to the ways sound and structure mirror one another, like how tempo is revealed in growth rings, melody traced through curvature, and harmony emerging where planes intersect. I apply pigment in concentric layers that echo the wood’s natural history, emphasizing rhythm and repetition while introducing new movement.

The idea of reverb guides this series: how an earlier life carries forward, lingering and evolving rather than disappearing. Each sculpture becomes a new verse composed from existing material, allowing past and present to coexist. Presented as both individual works and paired forms, these pieces invite sustained looking, where history, process, and resonance unfold over time.
