I
am inspired by the grace and beauty in the natural forms of wood. In the
12 years that I have been making rustic furnishings and garden structures,
I have endeavored to create harmonious, sculptural forms by carefully
coordinating the complex shapes of individual wood cuttings. There is
a special meaning for me in seeing the previously useful life of a piece
of wood, seat material, or embellishment, and to now see it in a different
form, with renewed life and integrity.
I
work with a flexible mind, a sense of humor, and a careful eye toward
wood selection and joinery. I have always admired well designed, aesthetically
pleasing and functional things, and I have resolved to include these qualities
in my own work. I hope the pieces here serve to illustrate this.
