Inspired by but not beholden to artist-craftsmen such as George Nakashima, Wendell Castle, and Jack Rogers Hopkins, Coffey's handmade, one-of-a-kind works seamlessly combine the irregular forms of nature, an aesthetic built on the variable and unexpected, with a deep sense for the haptic and functional qualities of wood. This work includes not only a generous reproduction of Coffey's body of work, but also an in-depth autobiographical reflection on how his formative experiences, from his rural and bohemian childhood to community organizing, and to the discovery of his passion for woodworking, moulded him into the sculptor and artisan he is today.
