The Wood






Woods in the Parts of Tree of Life series such as in the detail of Trunk piece #1 on the left and Trunk piece #2 on top are carved in such a way that softest parts are shaped. It is carved out like processes of nature where water, winds, currents and sands tear out the softer tissue and like in the driftwood, only the harder tissue retains. The result is a bony, ancient primeval form that I felt is the image of the Tree of Life.


左と上の木の幹の作品など「生命の木」の作品のなかでは木はある独特な方法で彫られた物もあります。これは水、風、砂やそれぞれの流れによって流木のように柔らかい部分が刻まれ、硬い細胞の部分が残る方法を真似た方法です。結果は骨っぽい、古代的な形のものが残り、そしてこれは私がもとめていた「生命の木」のイメージです。
