Wood-Carved Murals
His wood-carved commissions have been created for I.B.M., I.T.T., Wallace Labs., Pellon Corp., and numerios private collections. Marjorie E. Belvin comments in her book, Design Through Discovery, "Kaplan is among the most imaginative of contemporary artists working in wood."
These works moved Stan's practice off the flat surface and into physical space — large-scale commissions, constructions, intimate carved objects. The archive is growing. Descriptions coming soon.

The Totems began with a family trip to the Pacific Northwest. Stan returned with an idea — four carved heads, each unfolding downward into an accordion book of images telling that person's life story from head to foot.
