PORTFOLIO

Selected works by Sawtistic

Each piece below is carved directly from wood and shaped by hand.
Some works introduce characters, others explore form, symbolism, or material tension.
All are rooted in process, presence, and story.

PROCESS & PROGRESS

Sometimes it’s a mouth full of sawdust.
Sometimes it’s a table buried in eraser shavings.
Sometimes it’s paint in your hair.

Before the work becomes a character or an object, it exists here — in motion, in revision, and in progress.
