I make small-scale wooden sculptures designed to intrigue the curious. They often have hollow areas into which I place smaller found objects or curiosities, or sometimes pieces of text or a poem, depending on the piece. I use a variety of different woods (Yew, Hazel, Cherry, Lime, Rowan, Oak) and I add small pieces of metal (copper and silver) as well as inks, handmade paper, barks, fabric, cotton, and found natural materials. I love combining different textures and materials to create an object that fascinates and delights.
