Marc Lamm - the Art of Wood
I work with wood like a painter works with oils or a sculptor with stone. A photo cannot adequately portray my art. The lines, shapes and colors you see are not painted or stained. They are the natural colors of each piece of wood cut and joined along curves then carved to create depth. And my art has life. From a distance, the contours and shadows are evident. But, when you move from side to side, you see lines and shapes flowing over contours like a dance. If the light source moves, shadows in the piece move with it like the sun as it moves across a vast landscape. Go closer to the piece and shallow contours will appear like swells on a lake. Unlike most art, you can and should touch the surface to feel the silk-smooth undulating surface of the wood - durable and easily cleaned like fine furniture. |
