Twist 2006
It seems that columns or uprights of any shape are a returning theme in my work. By virtue of its uplifting lines alone, this most elegant architectural form obliges comparison with the living tree of the forest.
This is my newest creation.
I quartered a freshly cut branch of a cherry tree – what glorious colors - joined them with steel rods and used a square piece of Richlite as a top. As the unit dries out, the wood starts to twist in a yet unforeseen way, just like the twist of a corkscrew, really.
It is a promising experiment.
