Grant Vaughan - Designs in Wood

Enfolded Form #1

Australian White Beech

Cincinnati Art Museum, USA

”To find this form in a block of wood requires an experienced eye and hands that can articulate a disciplined reductive process. Grant Vaughan's experience and knowledge of the properties and performance of his chosen material allows him to predict how it will perform both in the shape he plans and after it leaves his control; exposed and responsive again to the natural elements.”
