One of the things that continues to draw Mr. F and I to the Northwest is the bigness of this world.  Everything just seems to exist on a grand scale here– trees tower, mountains loom, rivers stretch far and wide.  In his sculptural work, artist Matt Wedel  creates fantastical oversized forms and flowers, leaving no doubt that sometimes bigger is indeed better.

Wedel’s larger than life flowers and plant forms spring forth from craggy rock-like shapes, fairly bursting forth as if they simply cannot be contained.  Color spills down from their petals, as if the life held therein is overflowing onto the rock below.  Exaggerated faces and fantastical forms create a wonderland where we might come to recognize that humans really are so very small.
