Collection: Katie Gong

Inspired by gourd people who tie growing gourds into knots on the vine, Katie began steaming and bending her own wood creations in 2015. Creating an innovative steaming apparatus as well as other mechanical methods that enable her to bend wood poles into unique shapes and designs, Katie began doing less and less custom design builds and furniture commissions, and began making more sculptures, ultimately developing into her art practice as a wood sculptress as you see it today.
