Abstract:
O'Sullivan explores the work of George Peterson, a skateboarder-turned-artist who moved to Western North Carolina at Lake Toxawayin 1998. He is a wood worker who always uses salvaged wood such as maple or cherry for his functional pieces. One of his bowls was purchased for the Oval Office. For some of his sculpture he uses discarded skateboards of which he has over four hundred.
