The work I make takes on various personalities, but it all falls under a methodology of how they are conceived, designed and executed. The genre of furniture has so much to offer, and I am always responding to history, form, color, material, or workmanship. Each piece I make addresses an idea, or a combination of them. Working in this mode leaves little allegiance to an particular visual aesthetic which keeps the work fresh and exciting. I am always on my toes trying to dip and dodge through new challenges and hurtles in the design process. It leads to a lot of failure but the pursuit is what keeps me jazzed. When designing I always try and think not of what the piece is, but what it can become and how a piece might be expressive of something beyond just function.
