CATHERINE
“As a passionate artist, I design and create pyrography-engraved wooden items, such as spoons, elemental boxes, and sigils on logs. This process is a ritual for me, drawing upon the five elements to create a balanced and complete tool.
My creative process is guided by reflection on use and intention. I ask myself how the object will be used, what needs it will fulfill, and what intentions its future owner will imbue it with. These reflections are visually translated into my designs, creating pieces that resonate on functional, spiritual, and aesthetic levels.
My sources of inspiration are many. The elements of nature—trees, stones, rivers, and stars—all that speaks to me of harmony and connection. The celestial bodies guide me toward a cosmic understanding of the universe. Each component enriches my creations with symbolic depth, giving each piece an energy that transcends the object itself.
In an eco-responsible approach, I choose wood from sustainable and local sources whenever possible. Each piece is biodegradable; I reuse or recycle every item needed to create the object, reflecting my commitment to environmentally friendly practices."
