What's on Now

 I am a woodworker from Batemans Bay.

Working with wood and the need to decorate it has led to the results seen in my art.

The burning is done by applying a high voltage of 2500 volts to the surface of the timber. I have a healthy respect for electricity as I worked on construction and maintenance of high voltage power lines up to 6600 volts for 38 years.

 It’s an enjoyable procedure to produce free form designs on the timber surface. No two items will ever be the same. To me the burns represent patterns from the sea (seaweed), the earth (tree roots) and the sky (lightning).
