My latest work, in beech wood. I loved doing this and the amount of skills I developed is incredible.

I love it when a piece starts to take shape. And how carving is just an endless process of transition. It's not to be or not to be, it's to become.

A tryout for a bigger piece in oak.

I finally managed to put a finish on this arabesque carving exercise. One project done, 2976 in the works.

I ventured in a bit of Islamic geometry to dull the sting of the barbarism that I see around me. Counter the bad with the beautiful.

A drawing I did during Adam Williamson's 'Uzbek Columns' two day workshop last weekend.

The daily doodle. Trying to get those arabesque curves into my wrist so I can later carve them easier. #islamicart #islamicgeometry #islamicgeometricdesign #geometricart #geometry #geomicon #drawing #illustration #art #design
What this world needs is beauty in all its nuance and diversity. In word and image in thought and behaviour. Radiate. Be the smile on your neighbour's face. This is older work of mine, one that still needs finishing. A bit like the world. #islamicart #islamicgeometry #geometry #geomicon #drawing
A progress shot of a 12-fold Islamic geometric pattern. More to be revealed soon! #islamicart #islamicgeometry #islamicgeometricdesign #geometricart #geometry #geomicon #art #painting #watercolor #aquarelle #drawing #design

One of my many paintings with Islamic geometry. I like to include some of the construction lines to emphasise the amazing insights in geometry the upcoming Islamic societies had and have.

The joy of drawing Islamic geometry. A very basic tenfold pattern with an exquisite vocabulary...

A little piece of fretsaw work I did awhile ago, I gifted it to a good friend of mine as a token of my gratitude for giving me a wood stove for my workshop.

Another love of mine are platonic and other solids, also in combination with Islamic geometry. These are all hand made from 300gsm watercolor paper and hand painted.

I have no words to express my joy having been able to buy this 100 year old carpenter's toolbox. It will take me many hours to bring it all back to life but what joy these tools will give me! #carpenter #geomicon #woodworking #woodworker #restauration #tools
Another muqarnas unit I built some time ago. Currently I'm learning to sculpt the floral motifs that should adorn the final unit.

An encouraging read on the four years ahead. How do we process them and how can we response to them without getting overwhelmed or stunned into silence.

Another passion of mine: muqarnas. A modular vaulting system often found in Islamic buildings. Apart from vaulting they are also used as friezes or column capital. These are built by me.

Work in progress. I'm trying to limit my burning wood to heat up the workshop. I know it's not a sustainable way of heating but it's all I have out there. But a bit of drawing inside helps quenching the creative urge...

A good few hours of carving in the workshop. Trying to develop a technique to flatten the deeper bits without ruining the ridges. A very small router plane would do, but I don't think they make them quite that small...

Welcoming myself on bluesky. Expect more of my work to pop up here as I am gradually moving away from Mark and Elon.
