So I am doing a little catch up today and wanted to show you some additional photographs I took from SOFA Chicago 2008.
The following wood pieces by Mark Hanvey won my heart over so much that my husband was about to purchase one for me. Unfortunately I refused this idea with much regret, but the upside is I was able to take some pretty intimate photographs of Mark’s work.
Mark creates gorgeously organic hollow wood forms that are extremely smoothed and yet texturally rich. The wood is carved from the cross sections of trees so that the growth rings are exposed.
Looking down into the hollow of these pieces, you will that find Mark preserved the delicate stem of heartwood found at the very center of a tree that gave it the strength to stand.
You can see more images of the work of Mark Hanvey here.
FYI: an exclusive interview with Suzanne Carlsen soon to come.
