Ramsburg works in a multitude of mediums: charcoal and eraser on paper, acrylics, wood, metal, leather, papier-mâché and twine. The Text series are both intimate and mysterious. His charcoal drawings work with spatial and optical contradictions, photorealist twilight abstractions and observations of nature. The Pathing Sticks are sculpted, carved, incised walking staffs, found natural pieces transformed, ancient yet contemporary, esoteric yet functional.  The Shields show the scars of transformation. On many pieces there is incised writing, a script of his own creation. About the Icons of Nature, Ramsburg says, “Religious icons are generally seen as windows into the ineffable, portals to the divine. For me, looking at nature opens a similar door.” All works radiate an innate authority of their own each with ineffable narratives, memories and contemplation.
