Above the Mundane (Hemlock wood, Oil + Plexi-Glass, 79cm x 30.5cm x 30cm, Dirk Marwig 2013)

This object is made from an old weathered hemlock log, the end of which I painted red. After a few years I cut 3 inches off the end of this very old log and then cut out 13 ‘year rings’ then reassembled it, pushing each ring out a little more than the last. Then I made the ‘Plexi-Glass’ base so the object receives it’s deserved ‘elevated’ status.
-How I made this object might be interesting but what I think is important is the reasoning behind it, the idea, the concept and what it projects(this applies to all of my work, needless to say).
