Existing at the intersection of art and design, these works present a unique and defined vision.
Each piece is conceived and executed from start to finish individually.
Originality excites the senses, while wood’s familiarity, warmth and allure invite calm.
Bold, weighty and sculptural, current work is inspired by wood and stone artists who favor thick, strong forms and embrace tool marks. Conveying movement, action, and intuition, the one-of-a-kind pieces begin with a concept, but are carved spontaneously. Once the wood form is roughed out, I test various approaches to the lighting.
Each piece has a unique set of problems to solve; the effects of light must transform the piece, cords and lights must either be hidden or elevated, bulbs have to be able to be changed. I love this problem-solving!
The results are often spellbinding. Rooted in the merging of bold sculpture, soft light and elegant wood, they transmit, reflect and alter light in a dynamic, abstract dialogue with the surrounding space.
