About The Work
I find inspiration in the surfaces of weathered wood and stone. Sun, rain, wind, frost reveal the inner structure of the material and create beautiful textures and colors.
In my work, I try to create similar characteristics, playing with the grain through various surface treatments like sandblasting, scorching and pigmentation. By working on carefully selected trees, I create very thin pieces that I take up to transparency, creating a real lace out of wood which emphasizes all the history of the tree.
The second image shows the Small Rusty Cocoon paired with the Small Natural Cocoon, which is sold separately.
