Artist Statement for Fred Taylor
|
|
|
At Heather and Fred Studios we design and build fine artistic furniture in a contemporary style. Fine craftsmanship and an attention to detail set our pieces apart from the mass-produced world of today's furniture. We work with solid hardwoods, veneer core plywood and natural wood veneers. Every step is done as 'green' as possible. Our pieces are built one at a time, in the studio tradition, and constructed to last a lifetime. We carefully use proportion to create a sense of balance and flow between the natural characteristics of the wood and the human tendency toward flat panels and straight lines. The use of inlays and the inclusion of other materials such as cast glass and metal adds a level of detail beyond the wood itself. In these ways, we strive to explore the play between the organic and synthetic, both in material and design. Fine joinery that appears simple, but is mechanically complex, allows our pieces to look like they “grew” that way.
