MY HANDS

I designed My Hands as a tribute to the dedication and craftsmanship required to create it.

In the hands of the maker, the wood gradually takes shape through repetition, careful attention to detail and a respect for this natural material. The finished piece is a physical embodiment of these qualities. The installation is highly personal, made to fit the measurements of myself, using the golden ratio – used since ancient times to achieve balance and beauty in art and architecture. The custom woodwork is a stand  against the modern tide of mass-produced furniture.

Inspired by old Dutch work songs, I wrote my own work song about the process.
