process
-
sourcing materials from waste streams keeps good materials from reaching their end of life & prevents new materials from being extracted. it’s a win-win
-
i refuse to stock any petroleum derived glues, solvents, stains or finishes in my studio. i use only biodegradable products to fill all these roles.
-
no mass production. each piece is crafted thoughtfully to fully utilize the material. today’s leftovers can be the inspiration for tomorrow’s design.
-
working with a material’s natural form dictates the design. it’s problem solving to achieve a timeless style as opposed to a momentary trend.
-
change is constant. education should be too. i’m committed to researching new supplies, techniques & processes as well as sharing what i learn.
