Never Forget....In Memory of 9/11 Sculpture

"Never Forget...In Memory of 9/11." The 2 lightning bolts (2 jet airplanes) represent the anger, frustration and hatred of our enemies. All woods are natural colors. No stain/dye is used, except the background, which is dyed cherry. 53" X 31". All wood used is scrap from previous projects. Many are exotics from all over the world. Much like the city of New York, which is a blending of people and cultures worldwide. I have visualized this piece for several years and decided this was the year to create it. I just finished this week in time for remembering this tragic event in our country's history. I've been working on a series called "The Interplay Between Energy, the Universe and Mankind, Throughout History and Into the Future" . "Never Forget" will become the centerpiece. You can also find the others, Tectonic Plates, The Four Galilean Moons of Jupiter, Celestial Corridors, Four Corners and The Big Bang in my Saatchi account. Next up in my "The Interplay Between Energy, the Universe and Mankind, Throughout History and Into the Future" series is Albert Einstein, Benjamin Franklin, California Wildfires, Hiroshima, Black Holes and Black Lives Matter. Pyroglyphics, by Ken Ketter “The Art of Wood and Electricity” Pyroglyphics is a unique art style combining fine woodwork with a technique called Fractal Burning. This technique uses 12,000 volts of electricity which is passed through wood to produce Lichtenberg Figures. These figures resemble lightning bolts and are largely random. I use a proprietary method to control the burning process to allow the expression of my vision for a particular piece. Once burned, the piece is often colored by using wood dye to enhance the story told by the burn. A specialized method of applying the dye is used to bring the piece alive. As an alternative to dying, a clear finish is often applied to the piece after burning to let the natural beauty of the wood dominate. This emphasizes the interaction between different wood combinations, their grain patterns and the Lichtenberg Figures. This approach is most frequently used with exotic woods such as Bubinga, Purple Heart, Bloodwood, Sepele, Leapardwood, African Padauk, Black Limba, Ipe, Machiche, Wenge, Shedua, Teak and Tropical Walnut. Domestics such as Cherry, Maple, Alder, Hackberry, Black Locust, Flagstaff’s much maligned Siberian Elm, local Gambel Oak, Quarter Sawn Oak and Mulberry are also frequently used. I will consider designing and producing custom pieces upon request. Email: tubac24 [!at] gmail.com or Cell: 928/853-5339.
