Poems, Folklore & Ghost Stories Poems, Folklore & Ghost Stories Tales My Firewood Told Me The Woodwork of Fred RoseReminiscent of artists like Isamu Noguchi, David Nash, Giuseppe Penone and Martin Puryear, Fred Rose captures a spectrum of traditions in wood from utilitarian woodwork to carved and assembled wood sculpture. He delightfully engages the viewer with a variety of intriguing woodwork techniques of which the boundaries of each is often blurred. His apparently functional work, such as a wooden bowl, more often than not, unexpectedly becomes a sculptural statement of the adaptive powers of nature and the human affects on our environment.

Concurrently, Rose's clearly sculptural and assembled pieces act as visual poetry professing the nature of the physical world and the quirks of humanity.
