Truly fascinating wooden sculptures by Memphis, Tennessee based artist Ben Butler. Each of the forms are meant to be abstract but take on an organic feeling and seem to resemble geological formations, making for a rather nice contrast to the fact that the sculptures are made from wood. One thing that I’d advise you not to miss is the larger projects that Ben has been involved with which in some cases feature sculptures that fill entire rooms.
These are completely hand-done with no use of computer aided design, which is pretty mind blowing when you examine the detail of Ben’s work, particularly the indented piece found in the fifth and sixth images here. I think this is my favourite creation of his by a long way as you can see each mark of his tool around the entire sculpture, it’s very striking.
