Reclaimed old growth redwood — huge piece: 14′ x 39′ x 2′

Metamorphosis is a monumental carved panel worked in reclaimed old growth redwood, measuring 14′ x 39′ x 2′. Its scale shows what a dedicated commission can hold: a single continuous surface of wood shaped into movement.

Redwood (Sequoioideae) is a subfamily of coniferous trees within the family Cupressaceae, and is most common in the coastal forests of Northern California.

How a Commission Begins

  1. Share your idea

    Describe the wall, the room, and the feeling you want the piece to hold — a title, a subject, or simply an atmosphere.

  2. Discuss size and material

    Scale and stock are settled together. Reclaimed old growth redwood, mahogany, oak, acacia, poplar, and crystals such as rose quartz, jasper, labradorite, and agate have all appeared in the work.

  3. Carving begins

    The piece is carved by hand using the ancient woodworking technique revealed to Chris Isner in Ayahuasca visions — visions brought from a magical realm into material reality.

  4. Delivery and placement

    The finished sculpture is prepared for its home, and remains available through the gallery and shop alongside the rest of the collection.

Each commission begins with a conversation rather than a catalogue, a dialogue about what is trying to emerge from the wood and what vision should hold it. The carved pieces shown here demonstrate the scale and reclaimed-material approach that large works can take, where a single continuous surface is shaped into movement and meaning. Reclaimed old growth redwood carries its own history of slow growth and forest memory, and the artist works that grain into the narrative rather than against it. The result is a monumental presence, an awakening made physical, that belongs to a room, a garden, or a sanctuary as much as it belongs to a wall.
