Woodwork
Rogers work is
made from recycled materials found in abandoned houses, old home sites and
scrap piles. His search for materials is ongoing, but once gathered it takes
from two to three hours to complete a piece. Works include window frames that
are fitted with old kitchen utensils to picture frames and other useful and/or
decorative pieces.
As with many
artists and craftsmen who say they had no special training, Roger’s Father had
“loads of woodworking tools that he showed me how to use. In some instances I
am still using those tools – now antiques.” He has also done some wood carving
and furniture pieces. One such piece was a finished desk that was made from
several desks that he had taken apart.
Roger admits
that the most rewarding feelings – “the biggest kick” – is to take something
discarded, damaged or abused and “make something useful…to find a new purpose
for it all.”
