Artist's Statement

I design and build woodworking creations that are intended to engage the viewer emotionally or intellectually, while I am less interested in creating the perfect dovetail.

I have two large scale woodworking creations on the Somerville Community Path, Elly the Elephant and George the Giraffe / Big Poppy. See https://www.bostonglobe.com/2024/04/17/metro/somerville-path-sculptures.

My picture frames challenge the concept that "the purpose of a frame is to enhance the contained painting" but is an artistic statement in its own that can alter the conversation between the viewer and the picture/frame combination. Read https://ihaveanidea.us/doespictureframematter/

My furniture creations are intended to push the design of furniture beyond the mundane and utilitarian and induce a smile, thought, or question in the mind of the observer.
