a peace of work by Seth Woodyard

A piece of work is a series of pencil drawings of piles of wood blocks. The blocks are cutoff scrap material from other projects. My process is simple. I arrange the blocks into a variety of rudimentary forms that are simultaneously abstract and representational, architectural and figurative, monumental and diminutive. I sometimes add other objects to the assemblage: round stones, ladders, and plant specimens gathered from various locations. Then I make pencil drawings of the objects. Through the creative process the objects are transformed. What was once expendable is now precious and extraordinary.
