Fountain

Fountain, 2008
wood, oil

Hollowed logs filled with black oil. Over the 2 week installation, the oil saturated the wood, rendering the cut edge almost black.
I hoped to create a truncated forest of self-reflecting pools.

The coolest picture ever taken of me...

I've been taking photographs of industrial job-lots in Providence. This piece is a hybrid image of several storm drains and sewer grates. Clear Vertical Grain Doug Fir is the most prized variety of a very common construction wood. I executed some fairly delicate joinery with it and translated a similar amount of attention to the tarry fiber material.
