Organic Sculpture for Tabletop at Sea Island, GA

Creating organic, woven sculpture that looks more like it was found than created is what I love to do! It's a visual stimulant for the viewer and allows my clients to have the beauty of nature right there in their home.

This piece featured above was commissioned by a client from Sea Island, Georgia / Highlands, North Carolina for their home at the coast. Since I use natural materials harvested from my clients property to create these works (if available), I was happy to incorporate a live oak branch from their Sea Island property as the foundation for this piece.  The beauty of the bark and lichen really brought the piece alive!

You'll also notice a real birds nest (featured center left) and spanish moss which was also harvested by the client from their property.  All of these little additions make the piece feel like home and nested in place.

As with many of my woven collections, I've also added a variety of baskets accented with copper leaves, clay pods and encaustic wax.  This beautiful collection will be right at home on a wonderful antique sideboard in the dining room, enjoyed by family and guests for years to come!
