I draw much inspiration for my work from natural forms, as I believe that nature is still the basis for what we find beautiful.
Symmetry is important,
and the gentle flowing of one form into another.
My background in mathematics also has a big influence
on my work and I often use mathematical formula to
describe patterns similar to what we see around us
everyday, such as the regular division of the branches
of a tree, or the spiral patterns in a sunflower.
The roof of the sauna, rising over the doorway is a good
example of my approach. I wanted this to look as if some
giant's hand had reached down and pulled back the eaves,
or like the way a mushroom can grow around an obstacle.
Most people don't notice how the shingles, at first so
closely bunched together, spread out, slowly
upwards and outwards in both directions.
The irreguality looks so regular *
*(not.. "lumpy and ugly" as Billy had feared).
