My current work is an exploration of wood bending technique and as much as possible, non-derivative design within the context of the familiar form of the chair. Borrowing from traditional bending methods, adding the use of modern adhesives and unique fabrication technology, I have advanced the art of woodworking to enable a sparse structure to combine with physical integrity, producing work that is both delicate yet surprisingly strong. Avoiding traditional joinery and opting instead for long grain to long grain laminations, I am enabled to produce a piece that satisfies my creativity and curiosity.
