Treat A Stone Like Gold
Wood and nails reveal their bare skin like nude models, saying, “I’m a wood” or “I’m a nail.”
Making a nail more beautiful than it really is, and making wood happier than it really is… I work with things which are unattractive, useless, unlovely and ordinary. They are found everywhere, but unnoticed by anyone and passed by all other artists.
“Treat a stone like gold!” Unattractive-looking nails gather around to become jazz, and uselessly bent tree branches gather around to become magnificent classical music. There must be a distinct difference between sound coming from a single violinist and sound from 10 or 20 violinists.
Why do people say, “The more, the better?”
What is the world of “All in one, one in all?”
Lee, Jaehyo

Marbelous Wood challenges the way we use wood in our built environment, where function and aesthetics work together in new ways.
Pernille Snedker Hansen has repurposed an old marbling technique giving wood a supernatural, organic, colorful and vibrant pattern. The applied decoration engages in a dialogue with the natural growth rings of the underlying wood.
Marbelous Wood reveals the mysteries in wood, exposing its story and the immense details embodied in nature.video

Levi van Veluw created 3 “rooms” covered with more than 30.000 wooden blocks, balls and slats respectively. Each “room” is executed as a life-size installation (4m x 2.5m x 2.5m) - inspired by different aspects of van Veluw’s boyhood bedroom, where he spent many solitary hours between the ages of 8 and 14: the Origin of the Beginning.

David Nash is one of the foremost British sculptors who works largely with wood. Here he has charred the wood to get the blackened, textured effect. Photo taken at Blackwell arts and crafts house by Lake Windermere, UK

juxtapoz.com - Humans Made of Wood by Bruno Walpoth
These are some incredible wood sculptures made by Italian artist, Bruno Walpoth, made to resemble humans. At first we thought maybe they were ceramic, but that would be incredible as well. They are a tad creepy…
