In this striking exploration of wood intarsia and resin, the formidable silhouette of Mount Rainier is reimagined through a lens of vibrant clarity features a sophisticated assembly of hand-cut hardwoods, where the natural interplay of grain and tone captures the rugged, topographical character of the peak. The warmth of the timber is set against a luminous, turquoise-blue resin sky, creating a high-contrast composition that pulses with energy.
The title, The Blue Ribbon, serves as a metaphor for the thin, precious atmosphere and the crystalline glacial waters that define the Pacific Northwest. It suggests a standard of excellence and the innate prize found in the preservation of these wild spaces. By marrying the ancestral weight of reclaimed wood with the fluid, modern brilliance of resin, this piece invites the viewer to see the mountain not just as a landmark, but as a vibrant, living icon suspended in a sea of brilliant blue.
