Each piece of wood contains its own story. The different grains, colors, placement of knots, species, and origins, all contribute to the final form of the sculpture. With each sculpture, my goal is to bring the piece to its fullest potential by showcasing its inherent beauty, while exerting my influence over the wood to achieve the desired form. My sculptures are mostly figurative works, though my intent is not to express realism, but rather allude to a certain idea while letting the viewer discover the forms within. Often people ask me how long a certain piece took to complete. I usually tell them: two pairs of gloves and more hours than you could imagine.
