Christine Sisko
Artist Statement
Christine Sisko has been handcrafting wooden kitchen utensils, breadboards and furniture for 25 years. She only works with sustainable domestic hardwoods, specifically Mesquite, Cherry and Black Walnut and uses the natural flaws in the wood to inlay turquoise, malachite, river rock and other stones. By utilizing the inherent natural cracks and knots we are able to use really interesting pieces of wood that otherwise would never see their full potential. Everything Christine creates is fully functional and meant to be used.
Often we hear from customers that their work is too pretty to use but we disagree and feel that life is to short not to surround yourself with beauty.
