A vintage Tonka truck hauls a handmade world - rolling slow on vintage skateboard wheels, rigged with driftwood and loaded with beach harvested treasures, junk drawer finds, and scraps of story.

Every part is salvaged. Dolphin vertabrae pulled from the shores of Baja in the 1980's - Classic Powell-Peralta bones wheels from the same era - also the same style wheels I rode as kid. Original matchbooks from Los Angeles landmarks now fly as tiny flags. Swimmers look up at the scene; a diver waits to jump from a board - catch in motion. This piece invites the viewer to slow down, look closer, and take a breath. Let your eyes wander. Lets the details speak - it's all there waiting to be found.
