Wood Sculpture Installation, Paris Gallery

5 October 2017 · Paris

Five stripped tree trunks rise from raw timber plinths inside a Paris gallery, each form reduced to its spine and stub branches — the hand of the carver still legible in the grain. The rightmost piece abandons the round entirely, flattened into a carved timber slab whose wave-cut surface catches the room's ambient light. Organic form and material honesty occupy the same space: the wood has not been made into something else, it has been made more itself.
