Recurrent Remnant: Driftwood Sculpture by Caitlin Roben at SVAN

SVAN Gallery Hours
Friday - Sunday, 10 AM - 4 PM

Using a variety of hand tools and methods, each piece of driftwood used is gathered and worked on gently by hand, removing as much as three quarters of the original material until the heart of the wood is revealed. The wood itself guides the final contours and shape. A small piece of antique wire from old field lines is used to form a simple hanger or stitch pieces together. All of these elements also express a desire to leave as light a footprint as possible in the creation of this work.
