Wood Sculptor
The preferred material for my sculptures is wood, whose natural properties, colour and organic structure are expressive media that I use deliberately to merge form and material into a sculptural unity. With my deliberately purist approach, I use a chainsaw to shape the sculptures into groupings, stacks and arrangements of cubes and blocks. My sculptures are geometric constructions with a systematic approach based on horizontal and vertical order, repetition and sequences. They are predominantly crafted from a single piece.
