Internationally
known Furniture Master and Sculptor Jon
Brooks will speak about his “mind-bending, wood-bending, magical work.”
Thursday December 12th at 7pm
Artist Statement
My
artwork is about collaboration with nature, using naturally
formed hardwood, which is found and
harvested in the local forests that surround my home
and studio in southern NH. This wood presents itself in an
array of
shapes and forms suggesting possibilities for furniture and
sculpture. I am
attracted to the architecture of nature as a compelling dance of
control and
chaos. My art is about cooperating with the tree shapes I find to
create a
balance of form, function, and craftsmanship. Color and surface
design play an important part of my
expression.
Jon will be speaking about and
showing slides of his art work, how he came to do this work, and the influences
that have informed his journey as an artist. In addition to the PowerPoint
presentation he will bring some examples of his art.
