Wood is the material through which I communicate my message and the stories that I want to share. The raw material has an even deeper appeal for me than the objects that I create from it. The sensory language of wood—its visual impact, fragrance, feel, even the array of sounds it emits as I work with it—engages and guides me. The essence of the material also touches me in a less tangible way that I can best describe as feeling it in my heart. It is my aim to present my chosen medium in such a way that you feel compelled to pause and engage with it, to touch and be touched by it, and through this experience perhaps take away your own story from this brief encounter.
