"Hollow Wood Cube"
Artist: Christopher Casanova
Santa Monica, 2009
Dimensions: 18" x 18" x 18"
Materials: Found timbers and blocks of wood
My studio is located in a hanger at the Santa Monica Airport in Santa Monica, California. I have a rather small interior work space, basically two single car garages length wise, which I use for painting and planning. There is also a covered outside workshop which is where I make smaller sculptures. "Hollow Wood Cube" comes from this covered workshop.
The piece, as its name implies, is hollow and is made from re-sized found timbers and blocks. I made it hollow so that it would be relatively light. There are so many facets and details to see that I wanted the sculpture to be easy to move. Turns out, it is rather heavy, but one can still flip and turn the cube. The sculpture was built from the inside out and there is no evidence of attachment (i.e. screw heads or nails.)
