What's OnComing up this week: |
Friends of the Library Annual Fund DriveOn view at the LibraryMeet Rick Wieser:
Hi, I’m Rick Wieser a semi-retired engineer with too much time on my hands. I have been working with wood for 50 years generating pieces like these little tchotchkes you see today to furniture and house additions. About 10 years ago I saw a carved whale in Bar Harbor. That woke something up in me and I started making my own whales, some of which may be on the wall today. My process brings out the deep rich grain of the wood, thus the name “Driftwoood Fish Co”. After selling about 40 whales I started looking around for a new challenge and began making marine tropical fish. My good friend was Irish so I thought of making him a bird house which looked like an Irish bar. That started me on a whole new direction. Now I’ve morphed into making anything I dream up. The wood for the fish is left over beams from house construction, the others are made of wine crates, my old fence or my neighbors yew tree. While in college I was forced to take an art class and was introduced to pen and ink. A few months ago I got out my old quills and ink bottle and started where I left off 45 years ago. The pen and ink drawings in the show are all originals. |
