Art objects + Installations.
Art objects and installations pieces are made from reclaimed wood or stone that Teasdale fashions into symbolic forms, rather than furniture. The purpose is simply beauty and a story – shapes seen fallen in nature, transformed by TDS into objects of praise and legacy. Standing alone, or in curated groups, these totems are forces of nature that make time stand still when gazing upon them.
Below are some of TDS’ ceramic and glass inlay work, all commissioned by loyal collectors. Current work is inspired by them, with TDS’ using its epic ability to capture movement and delicacy with otherwise static materials.
Walking Buck
32” x 72” x 12”
Concrete + Driftwood
RIVER PEOPLE
32’’ & 39’’.
A diptych, these totems are an asymmetrical pair that can live both in water and land, calling to be held in their loops, or just to hold a gaze. They were crafted from reclaimed driftwood found in the Hudson River.
STANDING STONES
17’’ – 25’’
A group of five, the standing stones feel very much alive as they still have green tinted lichen living on them. Evoking the ancient megalithic stone circles of Teasdale’s ancestors, they were crafted out of granite that Teasdale found in a creek in the Rocky Mountains outside of Boulder Colorado.
AQUILA
42” Tall
Concrete + Driftwood
MERMAID KING

STONE PEOPLE
26’’ – 35’’
A triptych, these stones meet concrete look almost fossilized as if they were always meant to stand preserved this way. They were also crafted from granite that Teasdale found in a creek in the Rocky Mountains, right outside of Boulder Colorado.
