BILL KOSS
Representative images of what Bill creates.
ARTIST STATEMENT
Bill believes that wood can possess a personality; that it waits for someone to release its latent personality.
He looks for the opportunity to let the wood express itself. In doing this, he prefers curves over straight lines. Natural colors over stains. This does not mean wood must always appear alone. Wood combines well with other brightly colored woods. Glass and metal can complement the beautiful attributes provided by nature. Even colored stones occasionally appear in his projects. In short, there are no hard fast rules when it comes to creating new projects.
Bill prefers to source the majority of his raw material from small independent single-operator local mills. He also scavenges material from his family, friends and neighbors – providing uncommon and welcome opportunities to challenge himself and innovate.
Continually growing his woodworking skills, Bill seeks to avoid artificial limitations as he mixes fine aesthetics and function in his beautiful sculptural creations.
