Christine Perri
Woodcutter and Runaway

2020

About the Item

Artist Commentary: Woodcutter and Runaway consists of three carved log figures in a rectangular wood structure. There is a male log figure (the woodcutter) on tree stump pedestal. He is holding up a baby log figure. There is a tilted bas-relief, a female figure made from a split, hollowed-out log; she is held up by metal rods and is part of the back wall of the structure. The structure has a "window," a wood frame held up by metal rods, through which you can see the woodcutter figure. This multi-sculpture piece is meant to evoke a narrative that one would find in a traditional folk tale. Notes: The images of this piece shown in a natural landscape suggest a folk tale narrative that would take place in a forest. However, it can be exhibited indoors. The main figure (Woodcutter) can be exhibited by itself. Keywords: figurative carved wood pieces with cedar housing structure

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...
