Wooden Sculptures
Wolfgang Höft's wooden sculptures offer a distinct tactile experience, where the layered construction of blockboard adds depth and volume to his artistic expressions. Each silhouette, carefully cut and assembled, reveals the nuanced interplay of light and shadow.
His approach unites a deep appreciation for the material's inherent narrative. Each layered piece, reminiscent of tree rings, encapsulates moments in time, echoing the age-old growth patterns found in nature.
These rings, often hidden within the heart of trees, are brought to the surface in his work, symbolizing the passage of time and the silent endurance of natural forms. The layering technique not only adds structural integrity to the sculptures but also invites reflection on the cyclic nature of life and the organic passage of time.
From the grand scale of circular forms that command space, to the intricate details of the engraved pieces, Höft's work in wood is both a technical achievement and a creative exploration, inviting us to see the harmony between the engineered and the natural.
