Lot Essay

“I automatically went to wood. I wanted a medium that was immediate. Wood was the thing that I could communicate with almost spontaneously and get what I was looking for. For me, I think it’s the textures and the livingness….When I’m working with wood, it’s very alive. It has a life of its own. If this wood wasn’t alive, it would be dust. It would disintegrate to nothing. The fact that it’s wood means it has another life.”
-Louise Nevelson
