“Cullen has gone on to make many technically challenging pieces, but over the past decade he has been exploring a far looser way of working. Eschewing the elaborate veneering and impeccable surfaces of his earlier days, he is working in solid wood and simple forms patterning his pieces with vibrant carvings that range from the whimsical to the primitive. Cullen embraces irregularity in his carvings working from freehand layout lines or none at all.” —John Binzen, Senior Editor of Fine Woodworking Magazine
