Land Of Aurora 01

I started woodcraft since 1997 and I am doing woodcraft as a profession since then. I think craft is about making something beautiful by putting an artist's artistic sensibility into practicality. My practicality is lacquer, and my artistic sensibility is nature. I express nature with wood. In particular, I think that the annual rings of trees are implied in nature's time and relationships. The growth rings of trees have their own unique shapes due to different growing environments and each shape has a different moisture content. The asymmetrical curves created by drying according to different moisture levels are natural. The tree rings are the main part that completes the formativeness of the work, and are also expressed as textures or patterns.
