Throughout the process of making these wood assemblages, I have discovered an ongoing narrative in which I can insert myself to play a role that is part my making, part divine. I have rescued the off-cuts from going to the chipper, and now each one serves as an integral part of a complete art piece. At the very least this process gives me a grip on the world. I appreciate so much the way the work comes together; it’s as if I am completing a puzzle or solving a mystery. Working with these humble materials has shown me that truly the beyond is nearest at hand.
