The hardest part of these things is the “artist’s statement”, mostly because I don’t consider myself an artist. I make really nice furniture, but I hesitate to call it art, mostly because while I don’t know what art is, I think I know what it isn’t. I’m pretty sure nobody ever defined art as what you store your clean socks in, and that’s what I make–furniture that people will use and get pleasure from using, partly because it suits their needs and partly because they know that I took pleasure in making it for them. How about we call me an artisan. I like that.
