SQUARE BOWL GALLERY
I started my "Square" series in 2004. Influenced by the ceramic sculpture of Tony Hepburn and the wooden "blood bowls" of Jim Partridge, these pieces, turned from roughly rectangular blocks of wood, are both turned and unturned. They have led me to explore new types of patterns and to dive more deeply into the power of the imperfect and irregular.
