" In a world dominated by mechanized mass production and a disposable society, I hearken back to a day when something worked by hand had special value; when a craftsman bestowed his energy upon an object and gave it rhythm, balance, and a life of its own, that would outlive the creator. This is what I hope to bring to my work, with hand-tooled details, patient carvings, and hand-rubbed finishes. With an eye for simple but elegant shapes, I design objects of function and beauty that are comfortable to live with. " --Aziz |
