BACK TO THE FOREST

Through perspective and point of view (the horizon line as a unique and individual point of reference) as well as abstraction towards geometric shapes, the students were asked to perform an exercise of imagination and simplification when representing a tree or forest from above, thinking about the different points of view of the same object and the possibility of playing with them.

The material chosen for the exhibition are small geometric wooden elements resulting from the work of the students of the wood workshop, the discarded pieces of their carving. These pieces are used to play with the different planes and superimpositions and thus build a sculptural piece or relief based on the composition of a forest.

The material used in the exhibition, being a discarded element in the process of creation, leads us to the idea of recycling, reuse, the potential of certain materials as simple as they may seem and the multiple uses that can be discovered in them. Likewise, the idea that the different pieces that make up the small reliefs have a common origin, they are part of the pieces that are being carved in the wood workshop and were originally part of the same tree, is raised (also in a visual way in the exhibition).
