Yggdrasil

Semi-constrained Lichtenberg figures on scavenged and upcycled mahogany veneer, routed-edged and finished in matte deck oil. A finely engraved composition on wood, this work transforms the image of a tree into a circular, almost symbolic landscape. Charred linear textures and earthy pigments create depth and tension, while the balanced square format gives the piece a contemplative, contemporary presence. First attempt at Yggdrasil, the world tree of Norse mythology, at its mythological symbol form, symbolizing life, rebirth and connection to the continuum, upon which all life is one.
