Jason Goldman’s elegant, turned-wood vessels, furniture and objet d’art are a product of his own personal journey into woodworking through understanding and learning about trees. Based in Rappahannock County, and working from found wood from ditches, friends’ firewood stashes, ethically harvested exotics, and other reclaimed materials, Jason makes visible the designs, colors and textures hidden inside the wood. This is Jason’s first show at Gay Street Gallery. Shown here is a vessel made from Crab Apple wood found in Sperryville (8×18).
