“Instead of developing an idea and trying to find the right piece, I’ve always been seduced by the material. Everything comes from it, from its form and essence,” says David Nash of his creative process. The artist, who has been a wood sculptor since he was a young boy, lets himself be guided by the forms suggested by the tree. He uses tools as diverse as the axe, the chainsaw, fire and water, and is also a remarkable draughtsman, using pencil, chalk and stencils.
The works exhibited in the heart of the lobby, Stepman and the Pagoda Colums, demonstrate Nash’s desire to show that form, in order to flourish, must deal with different parameters: matter, space and movement.
