After nearly 40 years of work as a self-taught carpenter and cabinet shop for hire I have transformed that shop into a full-time artist’s studio. I am pursuing the impulses of my artistic voice, making content driven works that speak on topics that concern me most. Sustainability is a central part of my work. Urban trees, scavenged wood, and job remnants provide ample materials for my projects. After decades the question, “what can I do with the wood,” has been overtaken by the question, “what can I do for the wood?”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWhile creative in many other mediums, I was blocked for decades in locating my creative voice with wood. I lucked into finding it while attempting to help a family member in an emotional crisis by bringing him to the shop hoping that working with his hands would spark some passion and meaning as it does for me. I had the idea to make a small hollow cube and attach to the surface a grid of thin solid pieces; some natural and others with a thin wash of color. It was an impulse that came out of nowhere. At the end of day three, he wasn’t feeling it, but I became engaged and excited. It was the start of something I had been seeking for a very long time. I liked and photographed the piece and it ignited sparks and impulses that continue to this day.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe current phase of my artistic growth has been the further loosening of the demands for functionality and precision that remain from my years as a woodworking professional. I am using the skills, tools, and materials from that previous life to make sculptural works that, in form and content, speak to threats to democracy and the environment.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*IF SHIPPING:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eA fee of 15% of the artwork price will be added to your total for shipping \u0026amp; handling\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*IF PICKING UP: All purchased work must be picked up between October 18 and October 29, 2023\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Terry Holzgreen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56396284985649,"sku":"uvg1789959007484","price":51.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0991\/5000\/4529\/files\/mandala-011-2023_1.png?v=1789959011","url":"https:\/\/bikecarrier.shop\/products\/mandala-011-2023","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
