J. Jens Dahl is a woodworker and a rosemaler. His continuous grain boxes are truly works of art. A note from the artist:
Though I've made things from wood most my life, I didn't begin rosemaling until the pandemic. I had always appreciated functional design and simple forms, but I was looking for more from my woodworking than utility. Ornament is not a crime.
I hope to craft useful, beautiful things with history via two juxtapositions:
Modern/Traditional and Linear/Organic. Clean, modern forms meeting authentic, traditional ornament; calm, linear wood grain meeting playful, organic brush strokes.
I hope it might add some use and beauty to your life.
