About the Item

composition 19 21.0 x 72.0 x 3.0, 20.0 lbs Wood Founder's stamp Artist's Commentary: "Wood wall sculpture. This piece is based on a style I made for the Health Partners' Behavioral Science Building in St. Paul, MN. 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 Clinic, several hospitals and businesses in the Midwest and over 300 pieces for individuals around the country. Although he specializes in wood wall hangings, he has also made a snare drum for a professional musician in Boston and a bowl for a man in Tucson, both using the techniques he uses in his wall hangings. Marc is also a musician and writer with several songs and two books - one fiction and the other describing the techniques he uses in his art. In college, he imagined being an artist without training or significant influence creating art based on his unique sensibilities. As much as possible, he has become that.

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. Keywords: abstract, music score, wood, metal Artist Biography: Leaning into a bias toward abstraction/intuition, artist Francisco...
