NOT FOR FOOD
Interesting stuff happens out at the limits of materials. The wood I used here was some very thick white oak, which tends to crack when it's thick. The thick material called for deep coves to make the pattern, and therefore deep resin. So in this bowl I was working at the limits of both the wood and the resin. Cracks in the resin match cracks in the wood, and the resin developed some cavities like swiss cheese or travertine marble.

I've decided to call these bowls the "Long Shadow" series. The distortion of the patterns as I apply curves on them is not unlike the flux of a rotating body moving through a field of energy, such as an object casting a shadow. I love the surprises they generate. I never know exactly what they're going to do. There is a massive measure of trusting the process in each one.
They tie into all the work I do by always coming down to the balance of opposites. Positive and negative space; figure and ground; transparency and opacity; curve and articulation; organic wood texture and smooth fields of color; math and art; gradient and hard edge; pattern and form; repetition and variation; the list can go on.
What's different for me is a full-frontal embrace of color as a driving force. I've used color before in sculptures, but it's never been in the lead like this. Life, for me, is a continuing exercise in releasing inhibitions. In 30 years, I'm going to be a real wild man.
