SPINDRIFT ECHO STUDIO

Sculptures shaped from wild wood, chosen for its character, shaped by growth, wind, water, and time.

A Collaboration with the Elements.

 

Gathered as driftwood or fallen wildwood, each piece is chosen for the story already etched into its grain. I work with a light hand, honouring the original character while guiding the forms into focus. My goal is to amplify the natural beauty that took decades to grow and years to weather, ensuring the wood’s own history remains the strongest voice.

 

SELECTED WORKS

A collection of one-of-a-kind sculptures shaped from reclaimed wood.

BECOMING

2025

This piece has an unusual opening shape with beautifully-warped grain patterns. It didn’t grow in a straight line or follow an expected pattern, likely due to a challenge. It changed course, expanded anyway, and became something entirely its own and beautiful.

Becoming is about the character that grows from adapting to change. It’s for those who appreciate the particular beauty when challenges are met with resilience and grace.

MIST DRAGON

2025

A unique twisted form rises and coils with dragon-esque grace, its stunning swirly grain resembling mist caught mid-motion.
 
Mist Dragon evokes the rare Eastern vision of a dragon moving unseen through clouds and fog. When it briefly appears, coiling like incense smoke, it’s considered a sign that obstacles will dissolve on their own, life will begin to flow more easily, and unexpected luck follows.

STILL FLAME

2025

 

Still Flame evokes the form of a flame rising from a torch, a symbol long associated with inner strength, clarity, and purpose.

Though it once drifted through wind and waves, its form now stands still, holding the shape of fire as if light remains, even through change.

EMERGING PHOENIX

2025

Emerging Phoenix is a captivating testament to nature’s strength and resilience. Its beautiful warm colours are natural, with no added tints.

Shaped by the wood’s instinctive response to life’s stressors, it grew around a natural challenge, forming a mesmerizing wavy groove that tells a story of endurance. The tree’s own defense transformed into a beautiful, unique new form, a gorgeous flowing shape that showcases the wood’s rich grain and warm, golden tones within. It’s a striking symbol of beauty born from overcoming hardships.

WAVE OF LOVE

2025

This piece presents a fluid, rippling form that resembles a gentle wave in motion. At its crest, a heart shape emerges, visible only from a specific angle, otherwise remaining a subtle wavy hollow.

Designed to be viewed from all sides, it encourages shifting perspective to discover the hidden heart.

Wave of Love invites pause and close attention, capturing the instant love’s symbol suddenly appears.

It’s a tribute to love’s subtle revelations, found only by those who pay attention.

There is a small metal hanger on the back, positioned for optimal display.

EQUILIBRIUM IN MOTION

2025

This minimalist sculpture blends fluid form with impeccable balance, resting gracefully on three delicate points. Its flowing lines and forms hint at serene movement. Dynamic yet still, it captures motion frozen in time like a tranquil silhouette.

The beautiful natural beige tones accented by delicate brown lines add an intriguing deeper element to the sculpture.

BREACHING WHALE

2025

Despite its very weathered appearance, Breaching Whale is remarkably strong wood. Its natural shape captures a humpback whale breaching from the waves. Its wavy lines and organic shapes beautifully demonstrate the flow of movement. Each curve and contour appears to move seamlessly, mirroring the whale’s powerful ascent through water, its body arcing toward the sky.

What makes this piece especially unique is the way its rippled forms and subtle tonal shifts mirror the movement of water and the shimmer of light.

FLICKER

2025

This form resembles a candle with wax drippings and a small flickering flame, a symbol long associated with light in darkness, clarity, and the calm of a single point of focus. 

Length: 25.5 “

Width: 4 ” (at widest point)

 

BE LIKE WATER

2025

Be Like Water captures the essence of adaptability and strength in a single form. One side has a rich, dark, swirling grain, and the other lifts in a graceful, water-like surge, curving and dipping with subtle bumps demonstrating lightness, or being ‘lifted’.

Drawing from Bruce Lee’s timeless wisdom on adaptability, this sculpture captures fluid resilience. Moving around obstacles with ease, holding form without rigidity, and rising with effortless grace.
 
What also sets it apart is its unique balance. The front edge reaches forward as if levitating, defying gravity, while it rests solidly on three hidden back points. Grounded yet free, it serves as a reminder to embrace change, flow through life’s pressures, and find strength in flexibility.

Length: 9″
Width: 7″

CENTERED

2025

Centered speaks of strength and balance. Its form is minimalist yet bold. The circular opening is its focal point, drawing the eye to its center. It invites contemplation, creating a quiet moment of focus. As a centerpiece in a room, it can bring a grounding energy, offering a place for stillness and balance.

Whether serving as a visual anchor for meditation or dance, or simply standing as a striking natural form, this piece invites focused stillness.

A SPLASH OF NATURE

2025 

The broader end mimics the dynamic splash of water, with unique holes and points that catch the light, adding depth and intrigue. On the opposite side, the wood gracefully tapers to a fine point, undulating in waves that suggest motion and fluidity.

CRESTING BARREL

2025

Curved like a wave caught mid-crest, Cresting Barrel carries the thrill of motion in an instant when everything lines up just right.

Its form leans forward in balance and energy, shaped by movement and the pull of momentum. It captures the spirit of flow, of being fully present, alive in the moment, when possibility feels wide open. This piece reflects the feeling of leaning into life.

What really sets this piece apart is its unique balance. It leans forward as if defying gravity, yet it is steady in its 4-point stance.

Length: 7″
