Yellow Cedar Songs

Longtime grunt member, Kempton Dexter's Yellow Cedar Songs are a circle of nine yellow cedar sculptures that reflect his friends, family, and lovers around a lone sculpture. The centre piece is a simple bowl stamped in a twenty four hour clock. The pieces are united by the single cedar tree from which they were cut and each one is influenced largely by the individual cut of wood. It is as if they form a song cycle, related indirectly to a whole but each very much individual in its thematic and aesthetic concerns. Almost a family in their few shared features but each unique onto itself; separate yet together.
