Field Study Project

This is a series of Cut paper Sculptures. They are abstractions from a larger project that I am still working on.

Collaborations

I have started collaborating with wood worker Vicco Von Voss. To date we have completed 2 projects. The first is a table with inlaid brass in a sycamore burl top with cut brass connections between the legs of the table. The second is a shelf with for layers of cut brass and copper in the center knot hole. The top layer of copper is inlaid into the wood.
