Artist statement
I use recycled wood and other materials to produce furniture and other useful and decorative items. I try to use as much as possible, including the offcuts. I prefer to allow the material to dictate the pieces and let the wood tell a story. This means while the wood is sanded smooth, I leave a lot of the colouration and blemishes.
Extended Bio
I only came into furniture making a few years ago, but I have been passionate about recycling and reusing materials to produce useful things. I tend to be quite organic in designing and making, taking inspiration from the shapes and colours. Even shrub prunings aren't safe as I use them to make pegs in coat racks!!
