By sourcing urban wood as a resource we redirect quality materials that might otherwise end up in a landfill or mulched in a tree shredder. The spruce for instance in this piece, came from a beloved towering 70 year old tree that had been in front of St. Francis Cathedral Basilica, Santa Fe. It blew down in a freak windstorm Christmas 2021. I acquired several sections of the trunk and had them milled by a local sawyer. The slabs were air seasoned for over a year before they were ready to craft. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5918a4f8440243708842b02e/1731413661941-V4Y54JTMOX8QHXPVXZNI/Pump_Trolley_Swallow_Birdhouses_7.jpg Projects - Swallow Colony Birdhouse 2024 Working with local urban forestry design firm, Seeds of Wisdom LLC, and the City of Santa Fe, NM, we designed and installed birdhouses in public green spaces. They are intended to attract native species habitat. We researched both Audubon and Cornell Lab of Ornithology recommendations for designing houses that would accommodate specific species. Wood such as Western Red Cedar is used for its natural weather resistance. Our hope is that these will also promote interest in wildlife and birds among community members and families using the green spaces. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5918a4f8440243708842b02e/1735246057410-M8E9F9IEY8G0F269FS2F/Matthew_Ellis_Poor_Door.jpg Projects - 'Poor Door' "Poor Door" 2024 12" x 12" x 50" Reclaimed construction wood, reclaimed dungarees, & faux gold leaf.
