Christine Perri
Blue Book

2020

About the Item

Artist Commentary: This sculpture is as close to a self portrait as I've ever done. The head and legs of the figure have references to books, and the figure carries a carved wood book in her backpack--references to my literature background. The figure's backpack is made of vinyl cloth stitched with tactical cord; these materials, as well as the main material of the sculpture, wood, make the piece suitable for indoors or outdoors. Keywords: figurative carved wood

fan 19 - Original Abstract Wood Sculpture
Located in Boston, MA
fan 19 48.0 x 35.0 x 3.0, 17.0 lbs Wood Founder's stamp Artist's Commentary: "Wood wall sculpture. 48 inches wide. I work with wood like a painter works with oils and a sculptor with stone. From a distance, lines, shapes, contours and shadows are easily seen but when you move from side to side, the change in perspective alters the image like the features of a face when it turns. If a light source moves, shadows in the piece move with it like the sun moving across a landscape. As you approach the piece, shallow contours appear like swells on a lake and intricate patterns emerge. You can't help but touch the smooth flowing surface to feel the highly finished solid wood. The furniture grade modified tung oil allows that. It also makes my art easy to clean if necessary. The lines and shapes in my art are the natural colors of solid wood joined along curves. No inlays, veneers, dyes or stains are used." About the Artist: Marc Lamm is a self-taught wood-artist who has been art since 1973. In 1996, he began developing techniques which he uses in his art. In 2011, he began making wood-wall-sculptures and has pieces in Mayo...
