Craftsmanship

Multigrain Electric Violin is a sculptural electric violin that treats wood as an expressive medium rather than a uniform material. Different woods are deliberately combined to highlight their individual traits—grain, color, density, and strength—allowing each part of the instrument to visually and structurally speak for itself.

The open form exposes these material relationships, making the construction and material contrasts integral to the work’s aesthetic presence. Positioned between instrument and object, the violin functions as a playable artwork shaped by craft, material sensitivity, and form.
