About The Work
This piece was made for an on-line Artist Profile and a “How Does He Do That?” article, in Fine Woodworking Magazine. And each time I work with this theme, I am transported to long-ago gardens, at barely ten years of age, learning to pluck these delicate creatures gently between two fingers, examine, then release them to the breeze. Those distant gardens still provide imagery for the work I do today.
