furniture designer and maker 2010

It was a pleasure working with John on the project of making a film to be shown in his then up-coming exhibition. Although we differed on some fundamental ideas, we found a way to disagree amicably. For me it was a wonderful learning adventure, watching John unfold in his imagination, a tree’s inner structure to understand how it would make a perfect piece of furniture with matching grain.
