Sam Perry Pop-up: A Selection of Small Works

M Stark Gallery is proud to present a survey of small sculptures by Sam Perry. Perry sources his wood from Runnymede Sculpture Farm in Woodside, where he has worked as the director of conservation since 1989.

Perry is a master of illusion: There is no piecing or joinery in his sculpture. Work that looks folded or tied is carved from a single log or branch. It takes years for a log to dry out and cure so Perry can transform it into the curvilinear, abstract form he imagined when he first saw it on the ground.

Sam Perry grew up working weekends in his father’s Honolulu woodworking shop, helping restore historic koa racing canoes. He received his B.A. and M.F.A. in Ceramics from California College of Arts and Crafts (now California College of the Arts). Perry has been represented by Rena Bransten Gallery (San Francisco) since 2008. Special thanks to Rena Bransten Gallery.
