For almost thirty years Paul Colucci has been immersed in a creative process that is tangible, yet fragile and elusive. The process starts with the beauty seen in the old weathered objects that have been a part of his life since his childhood in upstate New York.

He’d play in old barns and wander through fields, and would find his imagination stirred by the relics and inventions of the past he found there. Now, as he creates his pieces, he responds to the textures, shapes, contrasts, and colors of these found objects.

Paul’s guiding inspiration is an innate desire to generate excitement and pleasure derived from the beauty of the objects. He has abandoned many of the traditional woodworking techniques that seem too regimented to allow the energy and emotion of the creative process to come through more directly. In their place, he has developed techniques that are more immediate and spontaneous, and that capture and reflect both the movement and emotion – the balance – that he hopes to create.
