*This was a big slice of Douglas Fir which first I turned into a perfect rectangular “block”. The newly created “block” had the “Golden Rectangle” shape or the ‘divine proportions/dimensions’. Then I wildly started to cut the block apart , saving all the pieces and splinters and then began to glue them back together again keeping the “golden section” in mind.
-It began to look like the “Empire State Building”, The “Statue of Liberty” and “Decaying Detroit” all in one and that’s how I kept it.
-In a way it was an experiment to see: “if I cut up or destroy “perfection” and then reassemble/rebuild it (in this case stacking it), will the result still be perfect, i.e.: interesting and “pleasing”?
A piece from 2013: La Gloriosa or “Glorious, Decaying Empire” (Douglas Fir, wood glue, wood oil, 227.5cm x 28cm x 18cm, Dirk Marwig 2013)
