Sculpture

[devon TWiG]

Not sure how to do a link but look up ..Peter Wagensonner skulpturen und objekte aus holz ... on you tube ... some amazing stuff but I am baffled how he has made so much ! as it must be very time consuming and there is loads of it .

he is one talented dude...

 

in saying that, to me those are just hollowed out trees.

 

he has just followed the lines sculpted by nature and are not of his own design.

 

 

would anyone else say that that is plagiarism???

How did he hollow out them long skinny buts he must have a bloody long chisel

I know what you mean, but another way to look at it is that he made the (aesthetic) decisions about which tree shapes to use, how to finish the outside (smooth or rough), how thick to leave the shell, the decision to have a chiselled finish on the inside instead of smooth, etc. All of which contributes to the overall appearance? Very impressed by these 'sculptures' but wondered if the shed which is full of them means he has lots of unsold stock in which case, maybe they are not that commercial?

Just realised that the shed full of sculptures may be air drying after being carved from green timber? I wonder if that is a bit of a cash flow issue if the work you've done has to wait a year or more before it can be sold? But maybe people can put their name on the one they want and make a down payment?

I loved them because they embody the very thing many of us admire about ancient trees , all the gnarly , crooked and burred and decayed lumps but they are also not finely finished (sanded and polished ) and are neither life forms such as bears and eagles or human , or abstract ... just natural ( ugly ) beauty .... I also thought is that a store of stock ... unsold or drying ...either way it represents a huge amount of work !
