“Working with wood allows me to explore the way we interact with objects in our daily lives - how their shapes - and the orientation of those shapes - affect our perceptions of them. The straight lines and square corners that are so prevalent in our constructed environment create a regimented constrained feeling that confines us. We are so isolated from nature that we are no longer comfortable with the non-linear. By exploring the interaction of curves with other curves and straight lines, and by orienting those lines in unexpected directions, I strive to break the confining nature of our mass produced culture. My desire is to create objects that both surprise and delight the senses.”
