MAN IN THE FIELD
A solitary figure walks through a golden field toward the distant water. “Man in the Field” explores stillness, solitude and the quiet sense of transition created by a human presence within an expansive rural landscape.
The composition is influenced by the tradition of American rural realism and is reinterpreted through my own three-dimensional wood mosaic technique. Its 180 individual wooden elements create a fragmented, tactile surface whose appearance changes with the viewing angle and the direction of light.

MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUE
The artwork is constructed from 180 individually cut pinewood elements mounted on a reinforced plywood backing. Each element is cut, sanded, wood-burned and hand-painted with acrylic colors and water-based wood stains.
The different depths of the wooden pieces create a sculptural relief and produce subtle visual changes as the viewer moves around the artwork. A matte protective varnish and wax finish protect the surface while preserving the natural character of the wood.
