After 2 weeks my son and I return to Bali from our Island hopping adventure of the Archipaelago of Indonesia. We journeyed to Flores and saw the great Komodo dragons. Slept on the ocean watching the stars. Vetured to Gili Mano, a small secluded paradise of the coast of Lombok. And finally on the southern tip of Lombo, we spent the rest of our adventure in Kuta Lombok…

Found this beauty on a recent trip to Java…

In our workshop here in Bali, we are reworking some unique antique wooden pieces. This year I am experimenting with incorporating many different materials, such as metals and stones, in the wood. The process from digging these ancient pieces of wood up in the jungle to actually having a finished piece of art, made in colaboration with nature, is a long one… But the blood, sweat and tears that go into each piece is all worth it in the end… It is what we do.
