Artist Statement:
Beauty is often found in
unexpected
places. Few people would
expect
anything made from plywood to
be
beautiful, yet they are
surprised
and intrigued when they learn
this
fact about my work. I laminate
a very
special Birch plywood from
Russia
to a darker Lauan plywood from

Indonesia, then carve them to
reveal
the previously hidden core.
The
results are often compared to
some
rare and exotic wood,
skillfully
brought to life.
The Plywood Sculpture line
consists of nearly seventy
contemporary designs that are
functional as
well as decorative. There are
over two dozen mirrors in many
shapes
and sizes. The designs range
from figurative to geometric,

from celestial to functionally

conservative. Several
figurative sculptures are
balanced by some furniture
designs. The line is
rounded out by many gift
items, such as picture frames,
boxes and other accessories."

All of my designs have a fluid

sense of movement, emphasized
by the
black glue line. The
alternating
light and dark woods have a
variety
of colors in natural, however

dyed colors offer even more
possibilities. Each piece is
signed and given a smooth,
maintenance free lacquer
finish.
A free, full color catalog is

available upon request.
