Phoenix Series

A.J.'s most recent series, these pieces explore death and rebirth throughout the crucible of life. The wood is turned while still green and allowed to warp and move. Fire, along with other texturing and coloring techniques, is used as a purifier to rid the body of decay, while accentuating decay’s role in formation of life. This series is ever evolving and several additions are in process.
