"Loosely based on the form of a Polynesian boat bailer, which then morphed into a more fluid form resembling an inverted drip."

"(My) art forms are a melding of technique, the physical act of making a piece and expression, the content within a work. My aim is to seamlessly blend to these elements; not to be overpowered by the joy of just boring into a piece of wood. I explore a theme before the work is started. I have worked with marine forms almost exclusively. Sketches are made, as well as samples, sometimes patterns help me gel my ideas and dictate production methods. The work may change in progress, due to the uncertain nature of wood, an artistic oversight or inspiration."
