Maker

Fred Aartun works with wood through a language of calm precision. His hand-carved spoons and utensils take shape slowly, each emerging from the pace of carving rather than from a predetermined design. Grain directs the process: the knife follows its line, adjusting to knots and fibres, revealing a form already latent within the material.
