Yellow Nets Oculus Mirror

Employing traditional materials, furniture making and turning techniques, I build forms and structures with results that are often untraditional. My interest lies in the pursuit of the potential of wood as an expressive element versus function being my only concern. I use hardwood, paint, and graphite to create my works. The forms are streamlined to better play the role of an empty canvas for color and line. I activate the wood by painting and drawing onto its surface. I am seeking to find a balance of proportion, form, and surface enhancement as I transform a common format into something that is very uncommon.
