I originally
made small one-off boxes from solid hardwood off-cuts and found
materials but in a desire to make more fundamentally useful objects,
with grater sculptural presence, moved to fabricating large
box-benches out of second-hand timber. I'm particularly drawn to the
box or lidded chest form as it encapsulates those primary
utilitarian and aesthetic qualities I'm interested in. Environmental
issues were a guiding influence on working methods and design from
the beginning and continue to be my main source of inspiration. |
