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. |
