SCULPTURES:

Carved cedar, found and altered objects, approximately 6-10 feet tall.

Wood carving, metal work, painting — how many lifetimes has Jerry Wennstrom’s soul spent collecting these extraordinary skills? But in the end, it is his unbounded creativity that moves me most deeply. His ability to weave people’s discarded junk into combinations that transfix me with their beauty. Layer upon layer of the unexpected, it never stops. Every square inch overflows with novelty. Christopher Bache, Ph.D, - Author, LSD and the Mind of the Universe

 In giving up everything - possessions, attachments, even speech and food - Jerry Wennstrom found his true self, and something more: the wellspring of human nature. His art reflects that deep level of knowing which links each of us to that part of our nature which is eternal. -Deloris Tarzan Ament, (Seattle Times art critic)author, Iridescent Light: The Emergence of Northwest Art.

Jerry Wennstrom’s second body of work is mature work. He has really developed a potent visual language of the psyche in his sculptures. They’re powerful, they’re beautiful, they have a lot of depth. - Deborah Koff-Chapin - Artist, author
