Description

Birth Cycle No. VI was refined using the traditional Japanese wood-firing technique Shou-Sagi-Ban, which JJ Pela has made his own. Fire comes into play in the next stage of the creative process. Depending on the desired burning structure, different fire intensities are used. The depth effect or shading is achieved using embers that are blown in with compressed air. When the sculpture is finished, it is ignited with an intense flame until it reddens and then hardens in water like steel.

Specifications

The concluding processing technique for each sculpture induces variations in the hues of the burnt wood. Previously unnoticed colors emerge under the influence of the lighting conditions, the viewing angle, or even the time of day. To maintain the sculpture's pristine condition, an ostrich feather brush is provided for cleaning.

About Birth Cycle No. VI

The artwork was created from more than two hundred years old wood from a linden tree that had rotted in the centre and been blown over by a storm. As with every sculpture in this series, JJ Pela has preserved the natural form of the tree in order to tell its story - a story of which he has now become a part. The upper part of the object consists of heat-bent acacia branches (symbolising new life) combined with naturally bent pine branches.
