In the 80’s and 90’s, West and his wife spent summers in Nova Scotia, where he was began sculpting in the various materials he collected along the beaches. In 2000, West moved to Friendship, Maine, where he worked from a barn studio. “The best form to my eyes is found in the natural world. As much as possible, I work with driftwood and other found materials to keep close to nature.”
