“Boxes are mysterious. Part of the attraction of a beautiful box is the mystery of the special things it might contain. Boxes need to be used and opened before they can be truly appreciated.
“We chose the name Wild Woods because of its many hidden meanings. It represents the beautiful wilderness in which Atlin is situated as well as the local wild species of wood such as diamond willow and poplar burl used in many of our pieces. More importantly, it represents our unconventional approach to art - shaping wood like clay.
“We have decided not to be limited by conventional notions in anything we create (a box does not have to be square). Most of our work is shaped with soft curves that sometimes hint at sensuality, and always cry out to be touched. You need to feel and touch our work to really appreciate it.”
