Abstract Wood Sculpture - Invisibility No.1 - Carved Using Hand Tools From Western Red Cedar - 2017 - Freestanding, Expressionist, Modern Print

The two seemingly separate entities are in reality indivisible, however this is not part of visible nature. The title "Invisibility No.1" describes this concept. The term "Invisibility" may also refer to the nestling of this object in space, an intimate relationship with the surrounding emptiness. I designed the piece with equal consideration for the contours and negative space in order to give it a deep visual balance. The beeswax on this piece of Western Red Cedar enriches the colours of the wood. The two tones come from the darker heartwood (inside of tree) and the lighter sapwood (outer part of tree). The sculpture is smooth and the contours are carefully formed, where the pureness of the curves can be felt under the hand. The tactility of the piece is part of the concept of the artwork. Using hand tools enables me to be in close contact with the wood from the beginning to the end of the process. The form then takes on a very human quality. Using sandpaper in my hand to smooth the piece in the later stages enables me to "mold" the object into its final form.
