Wood Carver and Sculptor
WORKSHOP STYLE
Contemplative, hands on, meaningful.
HAPE SAYS:
I’ve had a fascination with carving and form since I was very young, I was about 6. I find in the carving a language I can’t find anywhere else. With carving as a process, I like to focus on the why. The how is very important but the why is the engine room of why we carve.
