Artist Statement

Temima Crafts' 'Bloomin' Clever Boxes' and 'Vanishing Castles' are simply unique. The boxes appeal on a number of levels; they are beautiful, tactile, useful, fun and, because of the lift out internal trays and drawers, intriguing. The Vanishing Castles are simply fun. With a flick of the wrist, an often boring block of wood is transformed instantaneously into something fantastical. People either like them a lot or not at all. Marmite anybody?
