WILLOW WINDS by Emilie Brzezinski
Having found trunks of corkscrew willow for my installation, I felt, above all, I was to respect the wood. For this reason, I didn’t use my usual format of vertical wedges to carve the trunks. Rather, I used the remarkable array of joyful and bubbly bark, characteristic of the old trees of this species, to speak for itself. The “human input” focuses on the upward thrusts of the trunks to make up the gestures of the composition. Thus, the sculpture is in large part a found object that has been adapted into my sculptural needs.
