Harvesting wood sourced from felled magnolia and pine trees after a major wind storm, the Claremont-based artisan showcases a fresh array of seven primordial, dolmen-like pieces that hover in the space between sculptural form and functional object. The resulting chairs, side tables, stools, and totems are proof that new life can be created from incredible destruction and loss—some pieces feature salvaged Old Growth Redwood, a rare wood nearly destroyed in Northern California’s extreme forest fires with soot visible on each piece.
