Art Chowder January | February, Issue 25 | Page 17

Art Chowder: Cool. You’ve done a lot to support kid’s groups. Any advice for those shy young artists out there who might be reluctant to share their work? Erik:  Inspiring people and giving people hope for the future is one of the best gifts we can give so if that means sharing your work as an artist, you should do it! Sometimes the work I have liked the least, is the most appreciated! So you have to get out of your own head and put it out anyways.  Without taking risks we really don’t move forward much. Art Chowder: Good advice. So what’s next for you? Erik: I’m investigating 3D printing to render a chair that I originally made out of wood. I want to try to replicate that into a rad looking settee. Two chairs that mirror each other and a side table. I’m very interested in how 3D printing can facilitate new forms of art. My passion will always be woodworking, but when you make a piece that’s a one-off, you sell it and it’s gone. I’m working on taking it to the next realm and having a show with a mix of natural, soft wood art and crisp metal art based on wood shapes and forms.
