Spatial Drawing I

source: baronmag

« Le projet Spatial Drawings (dessins spatiaux) regroupe un corpus de pièces de grand format faites de planches de bois franc recourbées et tordues dans des positions paraissant presque impossibles. Alors que chaque sculpture semble manifester une certaine spontanéité, l’ensemble agit à la manière dune troupe exécutant une chorégraphie assumée. »

Spacial Drawings is comprised of several large-scale sculptures made of interconnected, hand-bent, solid hardwood planks whose curves and twists create “drawings” in three-dimensional space. By rendering hardwood pliable and then bending it in unusual ways, Hermant treats the wood as a kind of three-dimensional thread.
