Yesterday Liesl, Quinn and I visited some friends in Providence. On the front lawn of their beautiful home is this fantastic Japanese maple tree, the largest I've seen. I couldn't resist taking this picture. The tree reminded me of an old man using a cane. It looks wise and knowledgeable. The tree is approximately seventy years old.

- My work as a whole is influenced by the modern movement in furniture design. I love the clean lines and use of materials from that era. Lately I find myself giving new life to old materials, a resurrection of sorts, giving new life to an old object or transforming the object into something else, creating a duality in use and purpose.
