A mirror of your unique being!
How our journeys meet...
Hi my name is Iain, founder of Wearable Wood, and WearableWoodArt.com.
Since you're going through our store, you're most probably a wood lover like myself and you love to express yourself in your own unique way.
Wood is how I express myself best. It is my way to share with you what goes through my mind while I’m getting my hands dirty...
Carving a piece of wood takes time and energy. Energy exerts a force that will shape whatever it pushes itself against...
In reality, when I carve a piece of wood, I'm not the one who started its transformation. Before I even laid my eyes on it, it was already being shaped. It was already being moulded into its own unique form.
A tree - a living thing - surrounded by winds and other forces. Forces that will directly impact the way it grows. Shade from other trees will make it reach higher into skies, where it will find the sunshine it needs to thrive. The taller it grows, the deeper and stronger its roots become!
And guess what: That is also how you and I are moulded into who we are!
Just as wind shapes and defines a growing tree, our own unique journey in life defines what we become. When you feel a force within you, impelling you to act in a certain way, that is a reaction of countless other actions - yours and others’ - that have brought you to that very moment...
Invisible forces that cause you to react in your own way!
This same response is what makes us all different. But unlike a tree, you have a gift...
The gift of choice!
This gift empowers you to grow in the direction you choose. This gift enables you to harness the power of these forces to shape your own destiny.
My work is simply a continuation of those forces, impelling a chunk of wood to change its form. The final shape?
It was there all along... I just took away the extra bits!
I hope that what you see here will resonate with your own journey, that the energy I exerted on each single piece will evoke similarly strong emotions. If you do choose to acquire a creation from my collection, I would like you to feel as though you were the continuation of its journey...
Nature's gift...
From my hands to yours!
