Description

The artwork is made of aluminium and 200-year-old Siberian spruce, which is first given its shape and contours with the help of a chainsaw. 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 Pencils

“Pencils” was moulded from a 100-year-old telegraph pole. It was one of the first telegraph poles erected in the Warsaw area. Proud owner of it, or rather of the manor house and the land on which both stood, was Count David Jakub Jaworski. The sculpture was inspired by the Chrysler Building in New York, as both the column and the building were marvels of engineering - created in the beautiful Art Deco era. The sharpened end of the pencils is an aluminium casting from the remains of an Audi A8 from 1996.
