Abstract

Reverence is a series of wooden objects that highlight the beauty, subtleties, and surprises found in the quieter moments of nature. These pieces fluctuate from both literal and figurative interpretations of form, movement, and memory. Through the integration of curves, light, and hand-carved textures, I developed work that holds a collection of moments from the natural world. Reverence is an invitation to pause, explore, and revere the beauty that surrounds us, nurturing a deeper bond with the world we inhabit. I invite you to take a walk with me as I explore the rhythms and patterns of nature that are so often overlooked.
