An aspiration is a strong desire, longing or ambition. During the spring semester of my sophomore year at college I took a reductive sculpture class with Professor Bill McKee. The main material we used was wood and I fell in love. We learned how to use tools, to carve, to create form from shape, and how to use the lathe.

​

Since taking this class an aspiration of mine has been to obtain my own tools and improve my woodworking skills. I love the idea of using a material that has such a history and life all of its own. Repurposing this age into something people can use in their everyday lives is something I enjoy doing. I don't believe in throwing something away because it is "old" and I instead try to find it a new purpose and continue its life.

Here are a few things I have given new life to! Thanks and enjoy!
