Woodwork

“Woodwork and carpentry were my path away from an architecture that was institutionally isolated from the act of building. I gravitated to traditional Japanese woodworking, which taught me about another noble material: wood. I spent years creating translucent, sliding screens, called shoji.”

  • Silk, Linen, and Solid Wood with traditional joinery

    The batik screen can be folded in on itself for transport.

  • 'Z' or 'C' configurations

    The hinges work in either directon.

Craft, the way of the artisan, is the humble rigor of practice: every day facing the “Just This”. The moods and thoughts, like the gunas of Hindu cosmology, come and go.
