Dean Carrier - Turned Wood Sculptures

Dean Carrier

As a professional wildlife biologist for over 40 years, Dean Carrier continues to pursue knowledge of the intricacies of the natural world. Dean says that finding the hidden beauty in natural objects is second nature to him. Such beauty waits in a seemingly worthless tangle of roots and wood that may have washed upon a beach, or lying covered with fallen leaves and debris on the forest floor. More »

More recently, Dean chooses Northern American woods, primarily species with natural cracks, crevices, bark inclusions, and hollow forms from distressed woods, to create forms filled with semi precious stones and minerals for accent and diversity. Southwestern Native American pottery has a strong influence on Mr. Carrier’s designs.

The carefully turned closed forms, vases, and bottles are primarily artistic accent pieces as opposed to utilitarian items. The longevity of each piece is enhanced with a laborious application of oils and fine wax. Mr. Carrier strives to emphasize the natural flow and beauty of the piece.
