Thoughts on my work: I enjoy the entire process of working with wood - from the idea of its origins in the living tree, through the excitement of bringing color and figure to the surface in carving; to the satiny feel of a wooden surface which is finely sanded and finished. I could achieve the same results in form in other media, and some would present less structural limitations, but I would miss the complex satisfactions of this natural material.

Hi Michael,
I was actually just lamenting over how difficult it was to find information on you and your work. Glad to see that you're taking a proactive approach to that problem :) Anyway, I love your work, and I look forward to any future updates to this site.
Brian
