Welcome
I make boxes in different kinds of wood, aluminium, copper and other materials, such as bone and resin. Sometimes I use driftwood to give a contrast to the polished and smooth wood and metal. The boxes are all functional, although they are not made for any specific use. I aim for a very simple look.
I collect my materials everywhere, at the beach, I find things in charity shops which I can recycle or I buy from new. Combining materials is important, even essential, for me as well as working with form, proportion, surface, colour and texture.
I start with an idea or a drawing of the box I want to make, but it changes during the process. I may add other materials or use other techniques than first thought. I enjoy the process and the silent language of materials.
