Woven Sculptures
In these sculptures I aim to create pieces that inspire a sense of mystery and curiosity. Where does the natural bark end and the human hand begin? How was it made? When I find a discarded log or piece of wood that speaks to me I often sit with it for months or even years before the right way of working with the material reveals itself. I draw on traditional basket weaving techniques and patterns to create a sense of technical mastery blended with subtlety.

“Tucked away in an upstate New York hideaway, Grove brings the outside in through foraged raw materials, gently deconstructing what the land offers and recomposes it into new forms. Bark seamlessly becomes baskets, while logs magically transform into sculpture.”

“With a combination of technical skill and spontaneous exploration of the log, Menhir conveys elements that are both offbeat and completely natural. The ombré effect highlights the beauty of the log, and is achieved by opening up the dark outer bark to reveal the lighter inner bark.”
