Jonathan Levi Rutherford creates beautiful and functional artworks from his chosen medium: wood. “The process of woodworking from living tree (as an arborist) to finished sculpture (as an artist) means discovering hidden treasure. Every felled log and solitary piece of lumber was once alive. Its grain is a map of growth and experiences, struggles to survive, and journey through time. I seek to maximize the beauty of that journey through new forms, delaying the decay through creative expression. It is my joy to take my space in time to preserve and honor the subtle beauty of another space in time, that of the original tree.” Reception – February 29, 5 – 7 pm.
