Ladder Guy, 2025
Ladders are everywhere - practical, familiar, and often overlooked. But like people, they come in every shape and size, each with their own story. This sculpture explores the intersection between function and imagination. What happens when a tool designed for utility expresses a personality?
This piece was constructed from stock lumber you might find in a quiet corner of a woodshop. After hours, when the tools are put away and the sawdust settles, Ladder Guy comes to life. Playful and slightly uncanny, Ladder Guy invites us to see the potential for life and character in an ordinary, inanimate object.
