Aweshrammente
is the still space in being.
Your pre-conditioned awareness harmonizing with the rhythms of existence.
The gentle need to stop and witness the Sun sink behind the horizon
feeling the colors and breeze speak directly to your senses.
The wonder of water vapor forming shapes in the sky and recognizing it as beautiful.
The reflex that catches, the shiver that warms, the constant breath…
The perception of your individuality within this incomprehensible vastness,
uniquely blended from the mundane matter of everything,
with the unimaginable energy of stars animating your heartbeat.
Listen for it, through the white noise of modernity,
calling you to experience the wonder that is Life.
Who am I
or rather, Who am I becoming?
A degree in theatrical Scenic Design plus 25 years of carpentry, and general contracting experience provide the base.
A want for winter warmth, to build our home, and a desire to live closer to nature’s rhythms led me to the forests of Bastrop, Texas.
We built the little cabin in the soaring pines and witnessed its destruction by wildfire. Then came: drought, hurricane, and flood.
These little Minnesotans wouldn’t give up though. Today stands Pas de Neige - a physical example of our stewardship and love of this place.
After the fire, I salvaged 100’s of burnt Eastern Red Cedar trees and gave them new purpose as custom elements in our re-built home:
flooring, furniture, display areas, structural elements, siding and decking - all from log to finished product - made on site.
I call it the Complex Fire Collection and continue to find new uses for this amazing resource. Furniture, literally, reclaimed from the ashes.
My journey continues with Aweshrammente: a new venture creating unique functional art pieces.
Crafted with intention - inspired by Awe.
