Rolando Negoita

When it comes to pipes, I am whimsically attracted to my old knowledge and love for hand making things. It is as if I find it impossible to allow machinery to interfere with the creative process of modeling wood into pipes. I have always been fascinated by the union of the functional and the aesthetic, and I view both my pipes and my knives as functional  sculptures. I think of all objects I make as being tightly linked stylistically to a world of story and myth.
