Since 2010 he has focused on a process of coiling and stitching rope into a variety of functional and sculptural objects.
All pieces are made by a small team of artists, including Doug and his wife Tomoe Matsuoka, in their studio. All cord is made in the USA to government specifications, and is of high-quality solid braid construction.The cotton cord is 100% cotton, raw and untreated. Each piece is made without the use of forms or molds. The process involves coiling cord and stitching it to itself with a sewing machine using a zigzag stitch. The technique ensures that each piece is unique with slight variations of shape and stitching.
