"coal forest"This isn't a painting; it's a wall. A wall of cuts and beams coated in black, assembled into a single monolith and framed like an artifact.
Each element is a fragment of real wood with its own story: the annual rings are read on the ends like maps, like fingerprints, like archival documents. No block is identical. The uniform black color equalizes them all, stripping away their individuality, leaving only structure and relief.
The work exists in a space between painting and sculpture. During the day, it plays with light and shadow, its relief changing depending on the angle of the light. In the evening, under artificial light, it becomes almost graphic, almost architectural.
The material speaks for itself: wood, fire, time, order from chaos.
