Stump Speech, #4: Unique Wall-Mounted Sculpture in Copper by TJ Volonis
About the Item
Title: Stump Speech, #4
Year: 2013
A to-scale rendering of the cross section of a tree discovered in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, comprising hundreds of circular copper components meticulously assembled and soldered together. The ‘pixelation’ (caused by the hexagonal grid formed by the circles) is a foil, a contrast, and creates tension against the organic and analog flow of the natural shape it attempts to mimic.
Each piece in the Stump Speech series is one-of-a-kind and derived from a unique cross section - - no two pieces are drawn from the same cross section.
