Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This artwork features a striking, organic sculpture composed of natural materials. The sculptural form is rendered in warm, earthy tones, with a textured, undulating surface that suggests the weathered, layered appearance of a cross-section of wood. The overall composition is minimalist and abstract, emphasizing the inherent beauty and sculptural qualities of the material. The artist's skillful use of form and texture invites the viewer to contemplate the natural world and the way it is transformed through artistic intervention. This piece likely explores themes of time, materiality, and the intersection of nature and human creation. ...

Joseph Grigely
B.1956, American

Deaf since the age of ten, Grigely has focused his work on issues of communication—both its problems and possibilities—by creatively dealing with the absence of speech. His work can be understood as a journey through visual strategies and compositions based on the written word. Between the late 1980s and early 1990s, he formed a body of experimental work by creating a series of conceptual sculptures called Perforated Tympani. The title of the series is a reference to an incident: in 1967 he fell down a hill during a game of “King on the Mountain,” and a tree branch lying on the ground punctured his one good ear, leaving the artist totally deaf. As steel beams pierce large slabs of oak and elm, the Tympani sculptures became a medium to return the trauma to the trees. ...
