Turning for the Love of Life
Life on this planet is fragile. only because thousands of different variables that are in the right place at the right time let us live and prosper on this planet. Only too often we forget what crucial (yet toxic) element is required for our species exist…oxygen. and what gives us this? Trees. Nick takes pleasure in giving these once living things a second purpose.
Turning trash into art (Literally)
Carting fallen wood trunks and limbs found on the side of the road, or through social media marketplaces to his house which probably would have otherwise made it to the firepit. After it is brought home, it then undergoes rough shaping into a bowl form, then a year-long drying process before it is able to finished into its ultimate shape, and decorated.
A collection of roughly formed bowls and vessels…. all slowly loosing their moisture in hopes that in time, they can be turned to final shape and end up in your house or apartment.
Turning for Peace of Mind
In a fast moving world, full of madness, Nick enjoys taking a step back to enjoy the simpler things in life. Located in his basement shop, Nick takes on life which brings him closer to tranquility. Deep down, Nick appreciates what he has, and what he has been given. If he can take tree parts, whom have helped him live his (and his loved ones) life, and give them a second chance, he feels a little farther away from the negativity, and closer to that state of tranquility.
