Artist Statement
My inspirations have largely come from the world of fine art and
in particular from indigenous cultures around the world. I am seeking
to establish a fresh relationship between the primitive and the sophisticated,
traditional and modern, while maintaining respect for the craft tradition.
Primarily made of wood, my furniture seeks to satisfy functional
needs while challenging precedents of design and concept. In the
process, a personal vocabulary has evolved that reflects these criteria
and the landscape that I live in. |
