TrippworX
Prior to 2006 Greensboro NC artist, Tripp Gregson, focused primarily on
functional art made from recycled wood salvaged from old houses and
buildings. This furniture, with it’s southern-flavored quasi Arts &
Crafts style was quite popular, though it tended to limit the artist to
one-of-a-kind pieces made from local varieties of wood. Early on,
Gregson found that some of this reclaimed wood was well suited to making
painted furniture, and with the addition of traffic signs being a
natural adjunct to the bright paint and colorful graphic patterns, the
jazz series was created.
The TrippworX name was adopted as metal eclipsed wood and new materials accelerated the varieties of Gregson’s art.
