Artists Profile: My name is Simon Skipp, I use reclaimed skateboards to create what I would call low relief and fretwork style carvings either in the form of wall hanging pieces or smaller household items like side /coffee tables and lamps. The relationship between skateboarding and producing anything in the creative vein is very close. To start with there is the vision of what you would like to create, then there is the mental preparation, then comes the execution. Then finally there is the result.
