Play with Material

Wood is an important component in my art. The life of a tree and the energy in each grain of wood are why I use wood. My artwork is hand-made of thousands of very small slices of natural and oilstained woodon board. The variety of wood grain with oil-stained is very beautiful and the pattern is never the same. The combinations of natural and oil-stained grains create interesting shadows and impressions. I am currently developing a new body of work using other materials such as paper, cardboard and garden hose*( kind of fresh green)in addition to wood as medium.
