Rolling Wave Bowl was colored to represent the many colors of the ocean.

Having lived my entire life near the Pacific Ocean, the motion and rhythm of the ocean's waves are a major inspiration for my work.Contrast is also an important element for me, not only aesthetically but in the process of turning a functional object, like a bowl, into objet d'art. Artistically, I like to combine multiple woods with dyes and textures to enhance the rhythmic lines that are a part of my work.The technical genesis of these works lies in my ability to deconstruct and reconstruct a turned vessel in a number of unique ways while maintaining grain and wall alignment. I hope that my pieces will evoke a feeling of movement and energy in an otherwise static environment.
