Main Elements of My Sculptures

The main elements of my sculptures revolve around the natural characteristics of the wood.

Each piece begins with a thorough examination of the tree's morphology, including its grain patterns, knots, and cracks.

These features guide the design process, allowing the wood to dictate its final form.

I use techniques that emphasize the natural beauty of the wood, such as carving, sanding, and oiling, while avoiding synthetic enhancements.

The result is a sculpture that feels organic and alive, reflecting the tree's journey through time.

Cracks and splits are embraced as part of the design, adding character and depth to the piece.

My work often incorporates a balance of smooth, polished surfaces and rugged, textured areas, creating a tactile experience for the viewer.  These elements combine to form sculptures that are both aesthetically pleasing and deeply connected to their natural origins, embodying the essence of the organic world.
