Tactility & Visuality

Cherry & Silver

I was drawn to the way the wood responded to the cuts. There are strong ridges in the wood creating a unique texture that creates a very appealing tactile and visual effect.

life force

Wind Language 

The wind blows strong in Chicago today. In many ancient cultures the wind represents life force. All we can do is surrender.

Gustav Reyes - Smithsoinian Craft Show - Wood Art Jewelry

In 5 day we leave for 2011 Smithsonian Craft Show in Washington DC. In 6 days I turn 43 years young. I always felt that at some point in my life I would feel like an adult. Like knowing exactly what your doing and where your going. Well as I work my way thru my forties I have made my way back to my childhood. What I mean is that I have decided to work as I did when I was 9 years old. Doing what I really love to do with out inhibition, feeling that you are charting new territory.

I wake up every morning excited and thankful that I have the opportunity to live my life creating.
