I am Benoit and I live in Switzerland. I studied biology, in particular the relationship between soil and vegetation and the functioning of ecosystems.
I am currently doing a mandatory civil service in the maintenance of biotopes in the Swiss Alps. I do mainly tree cutting and mowing as well as work in bogs and lowlands.
I have been doing landscape and nature photography as a passion for around ten years. I particularly like mountains and wild places where there are cloudy and mystical atmospheres
I work with green wood and carve spoons for around 5 years as a hobby. Creating a spoon both functional and beautiful from a tree is a real pleasure of green woodcarving. A spoon is basically a bowl and a handle that can have an infinity of different shapes. The materials I use are mostly gathered from the area surrounding the area of Biel/Bienne, in Switzerland. Every object I make is unique, with traces from the forest, the tools, and the craftsperson. With a deep love for nature, forests and trees.
