The project embodies an obsession with repetition and accumulation. The urge to create options of options is an attempt to do everything, to see what happens when nothing is stopped. One shape leads to another, in an endless sequence of approximations.
This is a project not only about objects, but about ways of thinking. All shapes derive from a single solid form defined by a sequence of repetitive operations performed in a 3D environment.
The result is a collection of eight series of objects crafted from various woods, including oak, maple, birch, beech, American walnut, red oak, elm, and Canadian maple. Each series contains seven shape variations that together can be associated with the phases of the moon moving across the sky. They are finished using distinct techniques. One series is hand-carved and coated with ink and black wax; another is stained in multiple colors and sealed with linseed oil or hard-oil wax; a third is hand-painted with dyes in different hues. The remaining five series are treated with oil or wax to emphasize the natural wood grain. Each form can be wall-mounted in six different orientations using a specially designed hanger.
Due to the use of mirror-polished metal surfaces that are sensitive to scratching, particular care should be taken when handling and cleaning the objects. The mirror surface should only be wiped with a soft, high-quality microfiber cloth, such as one intended for cleaning eyeglasses or camera lenses.
