Artist Statement
"As a wood artisan, I am fulfilling my dream of working creatively. I’ve always been drawn to nature, so it’s only natural that I work with twigs, old wood and new, and found objects to create my folk art and furniture.
Folk art feels like an important medium to me because it crosses barriers, making art available to everyone. It encompasses many of my joys of carving, designing, working with tools, walking in the woods, and talking to friends and neighbors while collecting saplings or exploring new ideas.
My work tends to be about recycling what would typically be discarded or destroyed. An Interesting piece of worn wood or metal becomes an embellishment on a box, a table or bench, or perhaps the antenna for a grasshopper windvane. By adding a dose of whimsy, I create unusual objects that call out to the viewer, asking you to think differently and appreciate our natural surroundings.
My work can be seen in several galleries in Western Maine. "
This item was donated in memory of Bruce Moorehead.
