Artist's Statement

“The Beauty of Precision” is born out of my Swiss heritage. That origin is a good base for the play with contrast between natural and geometric shapes – creating a tug of war between the organic features of wood, interesting lines, color and texture.

The objects are open, revealing and often include an element for you to discover. Blending skills and experiences as an artist, craftsman and teacher leads me to constant learning, expanding my foundation and the joy of exploring.

Each piece is the result of a detailed design process, joined with influence from things of daily life. A good technical challenge and excellence in craftsmanship is what I like. The result reflects in the circular shapes, which have calm, yet unrest.

Enjoy them either functional or as art objects.
