Notes: Over the last decade my work has shown dramatic growth from the tradition of woodturning, where bowl or vessel is the norm. Now my approach is sculptural and distinctly original. My current work “Dancing in Harmony”, features lines that curve and stretch out in three dimensions against the subtle backdrop of wood grain. The form, line and pattern are all abstract, reflecting the natural beauty of a wave, a stretch of beach or the horizon. What excites me about my work now is that I have moved in a direction that focuses on the sculptural elements that attract me without being inhibited by any limits a lathe might present.
