Assemblies

Much like puzzles, I arrange and join pieces of natural wood, forming structures in which shapes relate to each other and create negative spaces and strong lines.  Some of these works are ephemeral and have short lifespans.  Others employ metals, plastics, wire, or twine to reinforce joints making them more durable.  These are no longer available.
