Eric Arcese is a self-taught,
traditional woodworker, who
resides in rural New
York. He holds a masters
degree in fine arts
and started his artistic career
making sign-like
constructions, incorporating
optical art and galvanized
materials.
Twenty years
ago, he made the transition
to woodworking. Arcese
states, “I have a strong
preference and an intuitive
feeling for the rich color and
figures of natural
woods".
The
non-traditional sculptured
designs of his unique wooden
boxes, are influenced by ski
slope moguls, well chewed
pasture land, hillside cuts
of superhighway exits and the
deep contours of meandering
creeks.
