samsara IV

The sculpture "samsara IV" was made from an old pine root wood that the artist found in the mountains of his homeland.
This particular wood has an unusually rich red-brown color and is exceptionally hard and heavy.
 
In the sculpture series "samsara" Manfred deals with the perpetual cycle of being, the cycle of becoming and passing away and the cycle of rebirth in Indian religions. The artist creates something new from old, partially dead tree trunks and found objects.
 
The sculpture was welded to the steel plate (47.5 x 35 x 0.8 cm) through a drilled steel tube and additionally fixed with screws.
 
The surface of the sculpture is finely sanded in the upper area and brushed in the lower area. In addition, the root wood was embedded with hardwax oil.
