 Pyrography is the art of intentional burning  wood with a heated tool. It literally translates to “writing with fire.” In practice, it means convincing a piece of wood to become something else while trying not to burn yourself or your surroundings. Too little heat & the image fades. Too much & the details collapse into a blackened crater. Somewhere between those extremes is the artistry. 

That narrow space between control and chaos feels honest to me. Nothing comes through fire completely unchanged. That does not necessarily mean it comes out ruined. I am stricken by what happens at the edge of destruction. I respect the permanence of a burned line, the unpredictability of natural materials, and the possibility of turning damage into detail.

Most people are taught to think of damage as the opposite of creation. We hide anything that shows an object has been altered by pressure, or fire, or time. My work plays with the idea that destruction and creation do not always have to be enemies. It is art made slowly, scorched deliberately, & created through a process that always carries a small chance of becoming arson.
