I’ve always been a collector, and for a while fossils were the big draw. Driftwood seemed just that: sea-dumped tree fragments gnawed by nature, and often too-much-softened by the sea. But, bringing pieces home to dry and ‘work’ them, I could see the sea’s dynamism within each emerging shape.
I began developing my own cyclical process of cleaning, drying, rough-sculpting and fine-working - respecting, always, the emerging abstract shape within each piece (some likely thousands of years old).
