Abstract Wood Sculpture - Appearance of Being No.1 - Peruvian Walnut - Freestanding, Modern, Contemporary, Original, Dynamic, Concave Sculpture

"The wood forms are a consummation of my passions for drawing, sculpting and metaphysical pursuits." As a child I would take to drawing whatever interested me, be it hockey goalies in action, mammal anatomy, or comics. These long hours of drawing lead to making art a focus of my formal education. After graduating from the Bachelor of Design Honours program at York University / Sheridan College in 2005 (where I regularly incorporated hand-drawn material into the designs), I lived in Tokyo for 5 years where I was immersed in traditional and modern Japanese culture. Studying martial arts helped to strengthen my already growing interest in philosophy and metaphysics. In my search for a hands-on approach to life and work, sculpting in wood came like an epiphany. The forms are a consummation of my passions for drawing, sculpting and metaphysical pursuits. I am currently living and working in Metro Vancouver where besides the sculptures, I am also developing a body of painting and relief wall artwork.
