English Rose Abstraction Series
Through the process of abstraction one often see the finest details of an object. Through the process of observing an abstract form, we can find ourselves relaxing in its simplicity.
The English Rose Abstraction series was born from a play between trompe l’oeil and minimalists view of a rose in bloom. Petals, breeze, angles, shapes, lines and shadow in the round.
The ridges between the half-round marks create the implication of the Rose petals’ edge while the voids between aim to highlight the negative space between the petals.
Woods with decorative grains such as spalted beech, acacia or Cedar of Lebanon are purposefully used to further accent the beauty of the English Rose.
