ERRATIC DESIGN

My work has always walked the line between artistic expression and functional form. Each piece I make is a technical experiment that celebrates a new technique I have become enamored with. It can often be an anxious, messy process full of stress and passion, however, the result is always unique.

Nowhere is that process more evident than in my capstone. The Erratic Modular Series interprets the stoic mass of a fractured boulder as three faceted tables that can be moved around a living room as needed. The varied miter joints, mixed grain patterns, and negative spaces intrigues and invites closer examination. For me, these tables represent the culmination of my woodworking expertise, and play with themes I hope to carry into future designs.
