Artist statement: Discovering the many complex properties of wood from around the world, has been a magnetic force for me. Wood arising from the dirt of the Earth, and by using Fire and Water and a little creativity, I strive to create unique vessels. By using steam, I realized I could forge wood into the graceful forms I needed in order to achieve the desired effect. Wood has finally achieved the status of art work in the field of vessels which was dominated by clay and glass for many centuries, It is a mystery why it took so long for the earth's greatest resource, wood, to be considered an art form by vessel artists.

Title: Magnolia Grandiflora Vase Vase

Price: $50,000

Dimensions: 20 inches high by 16 inches wide

Materials: Lignum Vitae, Pink Ivory, African Blackwood, Maple

Other info: My favorite flowering tree is the Magnolia. It is such a eye catching tree with beautiful large pure white flowers that scent your surroundings with the most wonderful smell. I live in the North and baby my trees so they can thrive. It is a struggle for Magnolias as they prefer warmer climates. One of the most beautiful trees in the winter as their large green leaves look like nothing else. My wife Rosemary, mentioned to me, why don't you create a vase that looks like your favorite. After seven months working with my new genre, it has materialized!
