Seeding Elm Woodwork LLC.

Seeding Elm Woodwork LLC. Furniture Designer and Maker. I start my projects well before the designing stage by preparing the raw materials.

ARTIST STATEMENT

My designs are called forth by a range of outside sources: a particular wood figure that I encounter while sawing lumber, the ways I encounter an object and its relationship to its surroundings, a customer’s desire, mental exploration of spatial relationships, the interfaces between user and object, and my own design affections. I mill logs into rough lumber and then stack it in

a solar kiln for drying for a few months. Before I pull any lumber for a projected project, I first work out these design elements on paper by laying a basic framework and then working out measurements, proportions and joinery. Joinery methods must solve perceived structural issues while achieving detailed enhancement in the overall feel of the piece. The essence behind solid wood design is the ability to understand and account for seasonal movement while maintaining a balanced composition in which the piece serves its intended function in a unique way. With each piece I have made I encounter unique situations that require thoughtful solutions to achieve a finished product. With each changing job, I am challenged to push my knowledge and skills, and come away with new ideas about composition as well as materials and process. In 2006, I completed a BA at Marlboro College with a focus on woodwork, sculpture and pottery, and was recognized for the best Plan of Concentration in the Visual Arts for my graduating class. The next year, I showed a 5 piece woodcarving exhibit at Through the Music Gallery in Brattleboro. I feel lucky to live in this part of Vermont with the mixed culture that surrounds the timber industry as well as the craftsman’s artistry. This allows me unique opportunities to pursue a more intimate connection with the materials used in my furniture pieces. For the past three years, I have developed a business around producing small batches of lumber and the mental demands of properly working it to create furniture that has the integrity to last for generations. What drives me to work with wood in its different stages is the direct physical challenge of bringing out a harmonious visual allure of structure and texture, light and lines. The combination of extreme precision, problem solving, and countless ways in which I can express my deep appreciation for the beauty that is inherent in the material, provokes me to move ever forward and continually refine my skills as an artist, craftsman, and sawyer.
