Morgan MacLean and 'Devoe'
Morgan MacLean, photographed during a break in preparations for the show at Reform Gallery in L.A. Behind him: a wood sculpture of a drum traffic barrier known as a channelizer, carved over six years from a 1,000-pound walnut log. "You cannot cast these shapes out of wood," he said. "The beauty of them is knowing that they have been made out of a solid piece of material."
