Carved Panels
Combining wood-working skills with wall pieces is a new and exciting development for me. Early years spent painting and the change to carving chest fronts have had their influence. I make panels in series between furniture projects.
These panels are reliant on the ambient light to model and bring the relief to life, they change with the time of day. The subject combines light effects upon water with the character of the wood itself.
