itemprop=\"text\" ><p>ABOUT HIS DESIGN OBJECTS<\/p>\n<p>Colton\u2019s\u00a0 design practice is an extension of his visual art. A search for harmony within the tension between rigidity and the free gesture of the human hand. His work brings together natural and man-made materials. Allowing each to speak in its\u00a0 own voice\u00a0 while contributing\u00a0 to a unified whole. As an engineer, he is intrigued by the possibility of dedicating his technical skills in service of the arts. Using technology as a balancing force to his handwork, a counterweight that sharpens intention rather than diminishes touch.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-qs6k-010c484abffa9bf6dc474e381e67c659 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Through this interplay of structure and spontaneity, he seeks to create objects that stimulate the mind. Invite curiosity, and offer quiet\u00a0 moments\u00a0 of reflection. Pieces where precision becomes poetic and the boundaries between art, craft, and innovation dissolve into form.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><div class='av-flex-placeholder'><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mj71ortq-53f90e8df46df8b3e82fee48c5273361\">\n.flex_column.av-mj71ortq-53f90e8df46df8b3e82fee48c5273361{\nwidth:17.6%;\nmargin-left:0;\n}\n#top .flex_column_table.av-equal-height-column-flextable.av-mj71ortq-53f90e8df46df8b3e82fee48c5273361 .av-flex-placeholder{\nwidth:3%;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-mj71ortq-53f90e8df46df8b3e82fee48c5273361 av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-29  el_after_av_one_third  el_before_av_hr  flex_column_table_cell av-equal-height-column av-align-top  column-top-margin'     ><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.
