STATEMENT
Taking the raw element of wood, he studies and analyses the organic nature of the material to be utilized for each creation. He takes in the aroma, feels the texture, and visualizes each piece or section fitting into the whole. To carve a face in a log or combine exotic and domestic woods in furniture, sculpture, guitars and rings, is what ignites the fire in his soul, lifting it to higher realms and thus enabling oneness with the material tools. |
