human incisions 183

The sculpture, 'human incisions 183', is carved from a solid larch trunk. Shaped with a chainsaw and brushing machine, the raw power of the material is just as evident as the fine craftsmanship. The natural edge of the tree is preserved on the back, serving as a reminder of the sculpture's origins and the close connection between nature and humanity.
The vertical and horizontal incisions in the wood represent the different stages of life. Some leave a deep and formative mark, while others are light and fleeting.
Larch wood is one of the most weather-resistant native woods. Outdoors, it develops a silver-grey patina, becoming a reflection of time itself. Just like the person it embodies, the sculpture lives on through change.
