Hollow Forms
These Hollow forms highlight the characteristics in the wood blank. Each vessel is manipulated by the artist to high light the woods unique features, i.e., color, bark inclusion, shape, or negative space. Only the natural wood in its unadulterated colors are used. Most of these wooden art pieces are best viewed at 360 degrees because every angle gives a different perspective of Natures beauty. Using only recycle wood, the artist views each piece of wood at a challenge in matching his skills of turning with the hidden beauty in the wood.

Artist Statement:
“Most wood turners use unblemished wood manipulating/adjusting each piece in an effort to express themselves through their work. I subscribe to a very different approach. I believe wood is a living element and possesses a spirit. I bring into harmony the personality and spirit of the wood and use my skills to expose this accord, so it maybe seen and appreciated. Beginning a metamorphosis during this process, which takes the commonly labelled “defects” in a piece, I transform them, so that they become the very feature that gives the piece its distinctive beauty. Highlighting blemishes rather than “turn them away”, my end goal is not only to release the inner beauty of the piece but also to preserve and enhance it for the future”.
Specializing by using only recycled woods, I make wood art from Southeastern woods I make one-of-a kind unique wood art for sale in galleries across the South East, direct sales or I can use client's wood (perhaps from their "Home place") "reading its spirit" and create unique wood art for them on a commission basis.
