What the Experts are Saying...
“It’s obviously three-dimensional work and I don’t view it as craft; I view it as fine art… I mean, as I said, he’s probably already elevated himself to be one of the top ten or fifteen artists working with wood I the world. And his forms and his concepts and the message that he is trying to communicate I think make his work quite unusual.”
