Gerstle Bluffs, inspired by the mossy and eroded rocks at Salt Point, combines a sculptural and painterly enthusiasm. But like all our work, it has taken on its own verve, become its own outcropping, a vibrant island sometimes buried under the tide. Too rocky for even kayaks, it takes a dedicated swimmer on a calm…

A presence both subtle and intense, Ares Venetian reminds us of Mars, Venetian plaster, and Chinese landscapes all at once. It has eyes and dripping fangs, but a soft, glowing touch. War has been fought here, and paintings made of the blood-soaked moss and trebuchet craters.

Kloof contains impressions of corn husks, corn lily, and various abstract textures. Kloof beckons you. Towards something. A steep ravine. You fall, but are caught, perilously on a fat, rusty leaf. You clamber up into a cavern. You think you will live here now, feasting on the leaf, admiring the paintings on the wall. You…

The organic and modern Palm Seedpod side table takes its form from stitched-together pieces of palm tree seedpods. Its texture calls out for a dance of the fingers, with crevices a climber would dream of. At roughly 15″ diameter by 16″ tall, it is no mountain but nonetheless a firm presence that can occupy an…

Oval coffee table that is kind to passing knees, and surprisingly light for its size. Has mottled greens and browns on the sides, with subtle brown variations on the top along with a line-like pattern on the top visible at certain angles. Roadcuts, so often deep scars on the land, are also rife with life….

It’s raining corn husks! Time to make tamales! Oh let them be painted umber too, to celebrate the caves whence we came, with drips of water and just a hint of sunset.

The stormy forest spins and spins, wind in you throat, in your shoes. Whirl and whorl, you suddenly dance with branches, clash with trunks. You climb the split fir tree, not a smart idea but a wonderful one, and jauntily hoist yourself into a tree-top meadow, dirt and bugs and even little ponds in this…

Unearthed Lineage evokes a time and place far gone, where farmers grew vegetables in misty fields, ever prepared to fight off raiding bandits. Three round, abstract impressions are like a Celtic or Nordic shields, with grass-blade swords grown mossy. The textured surface of the top waves and wanders about like swirling fields around a peat…

Vertigo is a gray play of paper bark, but don’t worry, it doesn’t bite. It was the softest bark we have ever touched. Instantiated into concrete, what an ironic fate? A vertiginous obsidian glade deep in the mountains offers brief respite for the climber. One could fashion knives from the flakes, or skate along the…

Imagine the first hairy growth of lichen, or something like it, on Mars millions of years ago. Just a stubble of life clinging to iron. Perhaps that’s all Mars ever accumulated biologically. Or maybe that lichen was far more amazing than we can even imagine

Caput Mortuum is rusty velvet drapes in a mansion on mountain. Its cousin is Switchback, but Caput Mortuum is admittedly not a welcoming farmer, but more an old wine found just before becoming vinegar. A faded family crest on the bottle briefly revives their name in you. Why did they die out? You drink the…

Switchback is a corn husk ascent into a wheat field, whirling with whimsy. Grasp the crevices and finagle your way into another mirthful land. Ho hey, says the lone farmer, let us taste bread together on this plateau. The route is bright but treacherous, may a fresh meal be a most frugal reward my traveler.

A joyful smattering of blue, reds, and greens collate into a lea-like abstraction. Take a Pollockian jaunt into a bloomful meadow, the larks having a lark, the bees caked with pollen, quaint Albert eating jelly at the edge. The sun is fierce on your brow but a sweat makes it pleasant in the flowers. You…

Batholith is an effervescent gaze into the stars, a deepseated stone protruding from a mountain. It is cold and grey here, but when the clouds part, the sky will slap you as summer heat might. It is the milky galaxy above you, though, not some meager sun. Someone, or perhaps just (just?) the wind, has…

Our concrete side tables with leaf impressions from real leaves can make a beautiful, natural addition to nearly any room or outdoor arrangement. The fossil-like leaf imprints soften the brutalist material of cement into an organic sensibility. The imprints have some texture to them, which offers visual and tactile interest, but will not interfere with…

This triptych by Pamela Holmes was made soon after the death of her mother and sister. It is a story of aging, growth, and the world beyond ours. The bottom work is one of communal innocence, as in childhood, or even before that. The middle work is the complexity of middle life, where things begin…
