SCULPTURES

page updated: 06 January 2023

ABOUT SHE

Carved utilizing reclaimed oak, SHE draws inspiration from the beaches of the Pacific Northwest. SHE plays with the balance of form and light, beckoning you to come closer and explore. The piece is left unstained and has been finished in natural beeswax and orange oil.

ABOUT ME WITHOUT YOU

Carved from reclaimed oak and walnut, ME WITHOUT YOU is a meditation on the resiliency of the heart. Leaning into the natural tight graining of the material, the artist creates delicate (and sometimes chaotic) curvature that leads into and away from blind spots, scratch marks, and scars, in a delicate dance of classic hand carving and rustic whittling. The piece is left unstained and has been finished in natural beeswax and orange oil.

ABOUT AVU AGAIN SEES THE SUN

Honoring their Iñupiaq heritage means finding ways to incorporate and share the values of their people in everything they do. With AVU AGAIN SEES THE SUN, the artist depicts a rising form with face turned happily upward, seeking the warmth of the sun. Created with more than 80% reclaimed materials in honor of the artist's vision-impaired mother, known as Avu, AVU AGAIN SEES THE SUN, is a freestanding sculpture featuring hand carving, leatherworking, clay, and responsibly gathered wild feathers.

ABOUT FLIGHT RISK

Escaping what binds you is a recurrent theme in Pfeff's body of work. With FLIGHT RISK, the artist depicts a solitary form, frozen on the precipice; neither successful in their attempt to leave nor failing. It is the moment of decision. It is the act of choosing and the depiction of cost and loss that defines this piece and, perhaps, what makes it so timeless.

Available with or without installed abstraction, WHAT THEY LEFT BEHIND, which Pfeff created as a companion piece to the work.

Currently on exhibit at Dancing Goats Coffeeshop & Gallery
