I
am foremost an artist. I work in an art form called “Morph-aesthetic”.
If you are a confused art history buff it is because I made it
up. Morph-aesthetic is best described as art in life and decision.
Basically I try to approach everything I do as an art. With the
integrity, precision of craft, and beauty that one expects from
most works of art. Admittedly, I have not been that successful
in terms of relationships however this project that is my life
is a work in progress.
Specifically in terms of my woodwork, I consider myself first
a creative problem solver, then an interior designer and finally
a skilled woodworker. Often people come to me with a piece they
want built. After a short discussion it becomes clear that the
object they desire was meant to solve a certain problem in their
living or work space, and the work I do solves it. Beyond that,
the designs I offer are first and foremost designs, then I set
out to see them become a reality. This often requires a lot of
ingenuity in the problem-solving arena especially when stacked
up against my unrelenting standards for strength, and functionality.
Concerning the look-and-feel of my work both my environmental
conscience and aesthetic lead me towards old wood and building
techniques that can last many generations. I like to include lighting
and electronics in my work because they usually require the anal
sort of precision that produces many design sheets which I enjoy
drawing. Also lighting in my opinion is a great way to show off
a space and lighting is an often under-developed potential in
most interiors. |
