.jpg) I'm inspired by the rich history of furniture design and my opportunities to interpret it as an artist-blacksmith. I have no strong attraction to making sculpture that assumes the role of furniture or furniture with primarily sculptural purposes. My furniture gives a clear sense of comfort: Comfort in its functional purpose; comfort in it’s craftsmanship; comfort in its time and space; and comfort to behold. I think a piece of furniture only becomes a work of art when the design and the craftsmanship inspire each other and meld into a single accomplishment. Hand crafted steel is a versatile and beautiful material for furniture. The hand worked element is what satisfies me in a completed piece. |
