Perry is a woodturning artist living in Seattle, Washington. He began his woodturning journey in 2018. Perry is passionate about trees and forests and--in an effort to honor the beauty of trees--works almost entirely with wood from storm-fallen or diseased trees. Perry uses a lathe to make bowls, lidded boxes and other wood products but his passion and main focus is hollow form vessels (vases). Since 2018, Perry has made a few thousand vessels . Simplicity is his focus and he aims to create beautiful forms that incorporate some of the figure, knots and imperfections of the trees with which he works.
