Wood Sculptures - works in process
Understories
Understories is a collection of sculptures by John Strohbehn that reflects a journey spanning more than a decade of carving wood and stone. Working from his studio in Gardiner, Washington, John creates sculptures that respond to the natural character, history, and possibilities of each material. His work explores the collaboration between artist and object, revealing stories embedded in the grain of wood, the character of stone, and the creative process itself. Together, these sculptures celebrate both the inherent qualities of the materials and John's evolving relationship with his practice.
