Grant Vaughan

'In my furniture and carved works, I strive for simplicity of form.  Organically inspired flowing lines, soft folds and curves are elements of my work.  Recent designs explore the interplay of separate forms; creating pieces which go beyond the vessel aesthetic without abandoning the style and sensuality of my previous work. I completed a BSc Architecture, University of Sydney in 1979.'
