I have been involved in wood making
ever since early childhood. In the begining my work was mostly designed
from random materials that were at hand, but the the peculiar smell of
each and every wood species has completely consumed me and I embarked
on a great discovery of their distinction. Childish curiosity took me
on a jurney from simpler to ever more complex forms. After being my main
extra curriculum activity, wood patternmaking become my main preocupation
in the continuation of my studies in the secondery school, where I trained
in woodturning and woodbinding. After the apprenticeship I have worked
in the field for 10 years during when I grasped all the necessary technological
knowledge. With the expertise grew also the desire for independent research
and creativity, therefore I began to mainly focus on products for complex
constructions and textural features that I mostly discover in local Slovenian
wood species. A special place in my relation to wood is reserved for
products of arts and crafts, that represent the essence of handicraft and are the link between past and future that
we are mutually creating.
