My philosophy

I have long been interested in the tensions between polished balance and rough asymmetry-- rough sawn or natural textures contrasted with carved or abraded ones. Many of these concerns I can trace to my studies in Medieval Literature at the University of Chicago. I was intrigued by a culture which conjoined “ernest & game”, in Chaucer’s phrase, not to mention art and utility.
