Leaflines
When Booker was working as an engineer/consultant, he took up woodturning as a hobby. While seeking a way to differentiate his work, he saw the art of Andy Goldsworthy, the great British natural artist. Goldsworthy had stitched together a canvas of real leaves and in the center had skeletonized a circle of leaves. Booker was struck by the beautiful patterns the leaf veins made – “ a fragile beauty that is normally hidden and transient, like that of a snowflake or a spider web.” Booker was intrigued by the application of this technique to his carving . |
