Trump uses certain words over and over again. His words are overstated, exaggerated and contemptuous. His constant use of these words begin to all run together into meaningless gibberish. This piece illustrates the talk Trump uses while trying to look genuine. The superficiality of the children’s plastic letters connotates childish behavior. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590608ae4b003b3116c3448/1493938437902-DBV5RH18CEHWKRBPNHK8/Believe+Me.72.jpg Mixed Media - BELIEVE ME 11" x 11" x .75" Faux gold leaf, plastic alphabet letters This piece examines contradictories representing the behavior of President Donald J. Trump, specifically, truth versus falsehoods. At first glance the background appears to represent sophistication, but in reality is false in its true material makeup (false gold). The words are those of a fractious, pretentious, unruly child literally made of children's plastic toys. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590608ae4b003b3116c3448/1474980492558-W8L85E1S9EZWE20VL37O/Once+Upon+A+Time.jpg Mixed Media - Once upon a time 8" x 8" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590608ae4b003b3116c3448/1474980486796-PHXE47J0CYWGIW2GR0L4/The+Awakening.jpg Mixed Media - The awakening 8" x 8" (Private Collection) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590608ae4b003b3116c3448/1730929474465-WHHOHMRNY2J8OA4NAHVO/image-asset.jpeg Mixed Media - As The Chips May Fall 4” x 4” Discarded lottery scratch off tickets. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590608ae4b003b3116c3448/1730929688452-1ENOJQZXYPPCFVWA7EAW/image-asset.jpeg Mixed Media - Not By A Long Shot 4” x 4” Discarded lottery scratch off tickets. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590608ae4b003b3116c3448/1730929951447-OXQC8FOPB04PMO8GGJMA/image-asset.jpeg Mixed Media - Win For Losing 6” x 6” Discarded lottery scratch off tickets. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590608ae4b003b3116c3448/1730930044817-MOET44N56AS8AVLQAFY9/Gerrish%2C+Entry+3B%2C+Win+For+Losing.jpg Mixed Media - Win For Losing (Detail) 6” x6” Discarded lottery scratch off tickets. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590608ae4b003b3116c3448/1471356662261-58I69ZJ0DOLCDHS3NQWY/Take+it+as+it+comes.jpg Mixed Media - Take it as it comes 12" x 4" Found papers and cardboard and linoleum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590608ae4b003b3116c3448/1671071000334-4CR8Q0K95KD4HV8DDWWY/Gerrish%2C+Entry+%232%2C+20+Fathoms.jpeg Mixed Media - 20 Fathoms 24” x 8.5” Fishing log, book covers, linoleum, ice fishing lure mold and cardboard.

It was not until I found the right stone that I began carving it. I first carved a one-to-one Styrofoam form. I built a pointing machine and learned how to use it.

My neighbor had a tree cut down. I was astonished how straight a section of the trunk was laying on the ground. I took it and propped it up in my garage for several years it sat. Years later after moving to Michigan I got the idea for the form. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590608ae4b003b3116c3448/1435880317244-BW706BHZGIRYHSBX9QJI/Trophy+detail.jpg Sculpture - Trophy Wood & Limestone 48” x 8.5” x 8.5” (Collection of the Artist) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590608ae4b003b3116c3448/1696254658192-T6MDBU20OSP9VM1A980T/Passage+View+2.jpg Sculpture - Passage (Private Collection) The symbolism of the fish has many meanings. First, the water from which the fish exists represents the unknown, the subconscious and depth of knowledge. It is a deep and endless mystery. The fish represents, faith, adaptability in the wild, like the determined salmon that swims against the current great distances to return to its birthplace to continue the circle of life. The fish also represents abundance, transformation and creation...the flow of life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590608ae4b003b3116c3448/1696254688206-PZL9OF0KG5SR6RPH3VWV/Passage+View+3.jpg Sculpture - Passage (Detail) The tree lived for more than 80 years. The wood from the tree was first used to build a barn to shelter and sustain life for over 80 years. This same wood is reclaimed and reshaped by the artist to take on another purpose and meaning. The tree lives on in the lives of others. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590608ae4b003b3116c3448/1696254719426-I3VTWGP3I39Z1VRGD0F9/Passage+View+4.jpg Sculpture - Passage (Detail) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590608ae4b003b3116c3448/1696254907810-RI2R9HI8JLS4PRLASH0T/Passage+View+5.jpg Sculpture - Passage (Detail) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590608ae4b003b3116c3448/1435880313937-VY2F7Y8K062AEYGU3VJC/Passage+View+6.jpg Sculpture - Passage (Detail) Chemical etched ferns into steel.

They were hanging in the same place I remembered them as a child. The wood base was also rediscovered. In its raw form, it was nothing more than a stump used as a chopping block. Sculpting it revealed a beautiful piece of elm. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590608ae4b003b3116c3448/1435880289688-IFJVKFLB73YEZ5MBKQTQ/Element+of+Danger+detail.jpg Sculpture - Element of Danger (Detail) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590608ae4b003b3116c3448/1435880290879-QS3TIR7KQCB1WFP8INMN/Element+of+Danger+detail+1.jpg Sculpture - Element of Danger (Detail) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590608ae4b003b3116c3448/1435880317838-BV1F4RK97O5TNMASALI3/Element+of+Danger+detail+3.jpg Sculpture - Element of Danger (Detail) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5590608ae4b003b3116c3448/1435880285870-NHBTK2AO40XU2EJZYACQ/Dreamcatcher.jpg Sculpture - Dreamcatcher Interactive Diorama This interactive ephemeral piece invited the viewer to press a button on the pedestal, illuminating the inside of the creel that belonged to my father. The viewer was encouraged to peek inside. Inside was forest floor living matter, including; soil, ferns, lichen, seed pods, fishing lures, all symbolizing a boy’s memory walking the path along a trout stream with his father.
