A wood, concrete assemblage yet to be named.

Material Memory

June 07, 2026 in experiments, materials, process, Studio Practice

I started this piece last year, then let it sit for a while. It stayed in the studio and then in storage, unfinished, waiting for me to understand what it needed. Recently, I returned to it with fresh eyes and was able to bring the composition to a place that feels resolved.

The piece brings together wood, textured plywood, and small areas of wood glue and concrete used to fill voids. I enjoy working this way because the materials carry their own history and resistance. Some pieces are clean and geometric. Others are rough, chipped, or irregular. The final composition sits somewhere between a collage, a wall relief, and a small architectural model.

Some works need time. Not every unfinished object is abandoned. Some are just waiting for the right moment to become clear.
