I find my balance by pairing fine wooden furniture with rough wood strip sculpture. My furniture pieces are well planned, tightly fit, and finished. My sculpture is the opposite. By lacking tightly fit joinery and finish, they evolve as they are built with very little planning. With my sculpture I have embraced what some would consider flaws, and instead of hiding them, I illuminate them with neon light exposing their inner beauty.
