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

  • Tazumal, Abstract Wall Sculpture, 2021
    By Francisco Rosario
    Located in Boston, MA
    Artist Commentary: Tazumal is a piece in a body of work exploring sound and the way that it inhabits space in the built environment. The pattern, repetition, and weaving represent the rhythm, texture, and syncopation of sound. This piece represents an envelope of sound, a finite piece of time, a controlled environment. It is heavily influenced by my time as a DJ and the practice of connecting patterns. It is about a controlled process – the merging of a creative practice with an understanding of materials and technique. In this object the marks of process are left bare, witness to the hand, craft, and labor. It is an homage to skilled work and the workers I learned from.
