James Moor: artist and wood form

ADS

The training in the carpentry shop of Mark Lissoni in Milan, during the college years approached James Moor wood but also its processing.

The intrinsic characteristics of this material still alive and that never stops moving, changing and changing led him to investigate those who are commonly considered its limits, turning them into value added.

Hence the idea of making a series of artifacts, unique pieces and small series in which the defects of wood (its flammability, its tendency to embark on exposure to moisture, the presence of knots, splits or worms inside ) can be tools to create a decoration or even a form.

Classic nodes, present in quantities in spruce, become structural elements to create a link between two planes of 2 cm each. The floor appears to float in a magical balance.

Sections of olive wood are dug in deep with an ordinary drill, and carved out with a chisel. The interior is then burned and covered with epoxy resin.
