The Search (page 2)

Driftwood holds an unmistakable natural beauty-—a beauty formed through the Earth's elements and time...

There is a sensuality within this found wood. It's silvery finish, luxuriously tactile textures, and organic form appeal to all our senses.

Searching the Maine coast not only puts me in touch with my chosen material, it also reminds me of the importance that we all must remember to, 'tread lightly.'

It goes beyond simply walking the beach. It's a respect for the environment from which it has been not only formed, but found.

It is a search for an incredibly finished and uniquely formed natural material found only through a discerning eye and determination.

I must work with the ever changing environment I place myself in; through careful consideration of tides, weather, seasons and accessibility.

The search is where it begins.
