These "stick" or "twig" figures are inspired by the work of sculptor Joseph Wheelwright, whose studio I studied in for many years, until his passing in 2016. (Independent of each other, Joe acquired his manzanita wood from annual trips to the Southwest, while I have acquired mine from northern CA.)
