NOT FOR FOOD.

This particular bowl is made from some old stock I've had for years of padauk, a prized hardwood from Central and West Africa. Padauk is newly listed in Appendix II of the CITES index (as of November 2022), which means we shouldn't be cutting it anymore. I won't be buying padauk again, so this bowl is the last in that wood for me. It's a curious one. It's bright orange when it's freshly cut, and it mellows to a rich deep red over time. Using pink next to it was a choice that should go from garish and clashy to harmonious and lovely.

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.
