FOUND DRIFT/FOREST WOOD FURNITURE, FENCES, GATES, ARBORS, & MUCH MORE!!!
Inspired by nature - Artist/Woodsman Brett Berg kindled a practical art formula that would work for his needs utilizing repurposed wood, and what mother nature has already given us, found driftwood & forest wood. In nature where Brett now lives in Nyack, NY, much drift wood passes through the streams & rivers during high rain falls moving the wood around to be once again be rediscovered and repurposed.
For Brett, finding a piece of driftwood in the stream can be just as exciting as finding a gold nugget. He likes to think of the found wood as pieces of a giant jig saw puzzle. Every piece of wood tells a story. When working on a project he uses different shapes and sizes depending on the location & specifications with only a quick notebook sketch of the general size & layout, & a picture in my minds eye of how it will all come together. Brett spends a little time getting to know each and every piece of wood, communicating with them if you will, seeing and feeling out where each piece is meant to go and as if by magic they always fall into place, piece by piece.
When asked about his work Brett said, "For each of us, what we value and love can hold up through time, through our creations, we do it with our art, some mediums lasting longer than others. My creations are sturdy, practical, & magical. I have always been a practical guy and one who thinks outside the box. Each project I complete brings me great joy and satisfaction and I hope you enjoy the journey that I want to take you on with my work."
Brett works on commission base & is open to all kinds of projects big or small.
