The House of Regina
Named in honor of his late mother, Dr. Regina Arnold, the new collection is entitled 'The House of Regina'. These lifelike sculptures were created to embody her remarkable legacy, while also representing some of the individuals whose life she profoundly impacted.
It’s hard to believe the numerous variations in color, from purple to red, are not painted, but handpicked and 100% natural. This creates a perfect reflection of the many species of trees found locally in Oregon, as well as globally in Africa.

Old Talks with New Icons
Clothing and fabric is not only universal it is non-binary. Designers and fabricators pull their inspiration from multiple cultures, demographics, environments, and elements. These sculptures will allow the viewer to envision, re-invent and transport themselves. They will serve as a conduit to the past as well as the future.

Untitled Faces
The series Untitled Faces depicts individuals we see in todays multi-faceted media (i.e. TV, film, print, web.) These figures have been abstracted within the positive and negative space to engage the viewer and allow for individual interpretation.
These sculptures tell a story of lineage and legacy as to those who came before and those who are with us now. And they will continue to speak to those who are witness to the beauty of not only the wood but facial features, hair texture, skin color and personal expression.

Welcome In
This series centers around the idea of representation at the International Airport of Portland.
The sculptures embody different fabric patterns, colors and symbolism found in multiple civilizations from East to West Coast. The sculptures also prompt the viewer to consider the meanings of fabric in relation to nature and belonging: A set of clothing—handcrafted in wood—is mounted on finished stainless steel, so the viewer sees themself in the composition, wearing the clothes or within the weavings of the fabric.
