The love, the pain, the triumphs, the defeats, the chaos and the quiet are the material of our build. These ten bodies reveal a history of our imperfect materials. Their beauty comes from the reassembling of our imperfect timber into something twice as strong as perfection. Stronger for having been tested by the storms of life.

His paintings take on a totally unique life of their own. Wozniak’s work will be on view through November 30.
