I am fascinated by natural materials, which are simple and honest yet allow for unlimited freedom of thought: a single piece of wood can become anything and everything. Natural materials possess remarkable energy, and I find myself compelled to unearth it. I have long been partial to the duo of dark wood and brass, as you may have noticed in my past collections. Brass has its own beauty yet its charm surfaces over time – in naturally occurring patina, tarnish, and gasoline stains.
