He found himself mesmerized as his grandfather took a piece of wood and turned it into a beautiful shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKarl’s motivation to try the basket illusion came from pieces he saw at the Utah Woodturning Symposium, made by the late David Nittmann. Later, he discovered Harvey Meyer and his amazing basket illusion pieces, and he was hooked!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the last 11+ years, Karl has focused his attention on creating Basket Illusion pieces, lidded vessels that are patterned inside and out, shallow platters, vases, etc. Most recently, he has focused on making boxes with threaded lids and platters that incorporate basketweave patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePatterns, both simple and complex, have always intrigued him. His goal is to create a pattern that evolves as you look at it, with the negative spaces becoming a part of the pattern. If you look closely, you will begin to see the patterns within the pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKarl’s goal is to evolve his style and technique as he journeys on his path of discovery, and everyone is welcome to come along for the ride.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dale L.
