Kirk Frye currently is a naturalist and an artist. Widely traveled, he earned a  B.A. and Master’s Degree in Anthropology from University of Illinois at Chicago, and a Master’s Degree from the University of California at Santa Barbara where he conducted his dissertation research on Andean Archeology. A study of taoist yoga (neigong and tai chi) and mycorrhizal fungal networks influence his steam-bent wood sculptures. A reflection of the spiraling forces of nature, his artworks take the form of helices, mobiles, and plants and utilize different kinds of wood and metals. Historic land use practices and justice are important topics to him. https://artbykirkfrye.wixsite.com/mysite
