SUMMARY:CRISS CROSS: Robyn Horn / Brian Dickerson
DESCRIPTION:CRISS CROSS: ROBYN HORN / BRIAN DICKERSON\nOctober 27\, 2017 – January 18\, 2018\nCurated by Miriam Seidel\nVisit online gallery here. The Center for Art in Wood located at 141 N 3rd Street\, Philadelphia\, PA 19106 is pleased to present CRISS CROSS: Robyn Horn / Brian Dickerson curated by Miriam Seidel. Join us October 27th\, in the Gerry Lenfest Gallery for an exhibition that expands our understanding of wood as an art medium. \nTwo artists working in different ways—Robyn Horn\, with strongly sculptural pieces incorporating the natural heft and gestures of wood\, and Brian Dickerson\, whose constructed paintings build up paint on joined wood surfaces—enter an artistic conversation in this exhibition. Horn’s explorations of painting and Dickerson’s move toward full sculptural forms mirror and illuminate each other’s practice\, stimulating how we look at the possibilities of wood informed by volume and color. \nThe Center for Art in Wood\, known for its new approaches to wood as a material for art\, is the perfect venue for an exhibition that juxtaposes the works of Horn and Dickerson and provokes fresh dialogue relating to the intersections of sculpture and painting\, craft and fine art\, painted versus natural surfaces\, illusionary depth versus actual depth. \nCRISS CROSS: ROBYN HORN / BRIAN DICKERSON at The Center for Art in Wood is sponsored by the Collectors of Wood Art and is part of CraftNOW Philadelphia\, which unites the leading institutions and artists of Philadelphia’s craft community in a celebration of the city’s rich legacy of craft\, its internationally-recognized contemporary craft scene\, and its important role as an incubator for arts based in wood\, clay\, fiber\, metal and glass. \nPictured: Robyn Horn\, US\, Throwing Shadows\, 2010\, Spalted maple\, acrylics\, charcoal\, 27 ½” x 23” x4 ½”\, Photo by artist; Brian Dickerson\, US\, Autumn’s End I\, 2010\, Oil\, wax and mixed media on wood\, 31” x 21” x5”\, Photo by Simone Associates \nRelated events\nFirst Fridays | Nov 3 & Dec 1\, 2017 & Jan 5\, 2018 | 5–8 PM at the Center |\nGallery talk and reception with artist Brian Dickerson and curator Miriam Seidel\nat the Dec 1 event.

In this two-day workshop\, participants will create wooden platters under Saylan’s guidance\, honing their skills on the lathe. They will then turn their focus to surfaces and the unique character of wood\, with Saylan demonstrating pigmentation\, texture\, and pyrography approaches and techniques. On Saturday\, January 19\, 2019\, workshop participants are invited to attend the closing of the exhibition Merryll Saylan: This is Your Life\, at which the finished pieces from the workshop will be displayed. Saylan will give a talk discussing her life and the development of her body of work. \nMerryll Saylan has been a practicing studio artist since the late 1970s. Her work is held in important public and private collections\, among them the Museum of Arts and Design\, New York; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Smithsonian Institution’s Renwick Gallery\, Washington\, DC; and Yale University Art Gallery\, New Haven\, CT.

SUMMARY:Young Artist Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Young Artist Speaker Series | Artist Colin Pezzano | Wed\, March 6\, 2019 | 6 – 8 pm | The Center for Art in Wood\nThe Center for Art in Wood is proud to present the Young Artist Speaker Series. Each semester a young artist is asked to share their work and speak about the transition from academia to an independent artist. The first in the series will feature artist Colin Pezzano taking place on Wednesday\, March 6\, 2019\, from 6 – 8 pm. \nColin Pezzano is a woodworker based out of Philadelphia\, PA.  Pezzano projects his unique sensibility onto the possibilities of furniture and uses this to offset the domestic environment with pathos and humor. His work is an honest self-searching\, channeling childhood experience and memory to bring beauty to the mundane\, shaping into an object the awkward fumbling form of youth and naivety. The result is something truly unique\, and surprisingly moving; considering the stark\, often minimal approach he takes in design. In these pieces\, in his take on everyday objects\, Pezzano strives to convey a long-lost sense of awe and wonder\,  a chance for a moment to regain a bit of our inner child\, our absent innocence.   He pushes himself in self-discovery\, and in that finds a piece of himself; a piece of all of us. \nColin graduated from University of The Arts in 2014. Upon graduation\, he received the Windgate Fellowship.  After Graduation\, Pezzano was featured in Craft Forms (2014) and was interviewed in an article with American Craft. In the Spring of 2015\, Pezzano had his first Solo show “Contain You”  at Bridgette Mayer Gallery. Since then\, Pezzano has appeared in several shows and galleries including The Smithsonian Craft Show (2016). Following the Smithsonian Craft show\, Colin was inspired to develop a small production line of furniture and objects\, collaborating with other craft artists. In 2018\, Colin had his second Solo show “Still Life with Dead Game”. Pezzano maintains his practice in Philadelphia out of his basement studio and currently is working at the University of Pennsylvania. \nThis event is free to the public. The Center for Art in Wood is a nonprofit arts organization. A suggested donation of $5 per person enables us to provide programs and exhibitions throughout the year. \nFor question please contact Community Engagement Manager Katie Sorenson at katie@museumforartinwood.org.

SUMMARY:Gord Peteran: Unlocking the Identity of Things
DESCRIPTION:Gord Peteran: Unlocking the Identity of Things | March 27 – 30th\, 2019 | Presented by the University of the Arts and The Center for Art in Wood\nJoin us for a series of events\, lectures and workshops with Toronto artist Gord Peteran presented by the University of the Arts (UArts) and The Center for Art in Wood\, March 27 – 30\, 2019. \n\nWednesday\, March 27\, 2019 | 6pm\nArtists’ Challenge lecture\nUArts\, Hamilton Hall\n320 S.

Broad Street\, Philadelphia\nMember $150 Click HERE |  Non-Member $200 Click HERE\nSave on this and future workshops by becoming a member. \nPulling Chairs\nWhich objects sustain and why? \nThere is absolutely no difference between sculpture and furniture. All of the neuroses explored in contemporary sculpture are also hidden under the upholstery of furniture. This hypothesis comes from two observations; the body’s many perceived insecurities AND the neurotic need of the objects we presently call furniture. \nIn this workshop\, participants will be asked to find a wrecked or dysfunctional piece of furniture from the garbage or from home. In the course of the workshop\, each participant will “RESTORE” their object…pulling it through time toward a present pertinence. \n\nSaturday\, March 30\, 2019 | 2 – 4pm\nCommunity Gallery Talk\nThe Center for Art in Wood\n141 N. 3rd Street\, Philadelphia\, PA 19106\nFREE \nUnlocked? \nFocusing on the push/pull of the previous days’ workshops\, participants and the public at large are invited to gather at The Center for Art in Wood for a closing pop-up display of the works and ideas generated in the workshops. A discussion around what we learned and the relevance of the work to the exhibition at the Center. \n\nFor more information\, please contact Katie Sorenson\, Community Engagement Manager at katie@museumforartinwood.org or 215-923-8000 ext. 103. \n

SUMMARY:2018 Bob Stocksdale Award: Ben Strear
DESCRIPTION:The 2018 Bob Stocksdale International Excellence in Wood Award: Ben Strear | Sun\, April 14\, 2019 | 2 – 4 pm | Lecture and reception at Winterthur Museum\, Garden & Library\, New Castle County\, DE\nRegistration is required to attend.\nTo RSVP click HERE. \nPlease join us as we commemorate the 2018 Bob Stocksdale International Excellence in Wood Award with a lecture and reception at the Rotunda of the renowned Winterthur Museum\, Garden & Library. The 2018 recipient for the Bob Stocksdale International Excellence in Wood Award is Ben Strear of Grand Rapids\, Michigan. \nSupported by an anonymous donor and now in its third year\, the Bob Stocksdale International Excellence in Wood Award presents a grant of $1\,000 to an emerging or mid-career artist whose work\, like Stocksdale’s\, unites quality of craftsmanship and respect for materials. Recognizing the 2018 Stocksdale Award will be Trent Rhodes\, a Lois F. McNeil Fellow and recent graduate of the Winterthur Program in American Culture\, with a lecture on Strear and Stocksdale (1913–2003)\, a renowned master woodturner. Rhodes will discuss Strear’s work in context of the values reflected in Stocksdale’s legacy\, among them quality of craftsmanship\, respect for materials\, and artistic innovation. \nStrear creates sculpted wooden vessels that serve as canvasses for his meticulously hand-carved\, rhythmic patterns\, many of which are inspired by ancient structures and artifacts. His work is held by prominent private collections\, and he is the recipient of a number of awards\, including The Smithsonian Craft Show and the Cheongju International Craft Competition in South Korea. \n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Ben Strear\, Bleached Stele\, 2018\, bass wood\n				\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\nImage captions\, left to right: Ben Strear\, Bleached Stele\, bass wood\, 8 1/2″ x 3 7/8″ x 22″; Stele With Smoke and Flame Pattern\, bass wood\, milk paint\, lacquer\, 8 1/8″ x 17 3/4″ x 20 1/2; Vase with Serpentine Pattern\, bass wood\, 4″ diam. x 8 1/2″\nAbove left: Ben Strear\, Cylindrical Seal\, 2017\, bass wood\, turned and carved with non-repeating pattern and striated; milk paint\, wax\, Diam. 5.5 in. x 14.5 in.\nBen Strear\nOriginally from Colorado\, Ben Strear attended the Rhode Island School of Design where he received a BFA in Furniture Design. After graduating in 2006\, he was awarded the Robyn and John Horn Woodturning Fellowship at the Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts. In 2007 Ben moved to New York City where he found success both fabricating and managing the production of projects for high profile architects and artists. It was also during this time that Ben defined a formal language for his own sculptural woodwork. In 2016 Ben began to focus on creating sculptures full time. Ben and his family currently reside in Grand Rapids\, Michigan. \nARTIST’S STATEMENT\nMy process and materials are simple: I sculpt and carve wood. While wood by itself is very beautiful\, it’s transformative qualities are what I enjoy the most. I utilize both shallow relief and chip carving to achieve the woven\, repetitive patterns that adorn my work. I rely on monochromatic color schemes to highlight the patterning\, rather than the color of the material itself. On some of my work\, I further graphic depth by incising or burning a secondary pattern over a sculpture’s topographic surface. \nWhile the foundation for my art is largely technically driven\, I tend to look towards antiquities and fossils for added inspiration. I search for objects that possess finite detail expertly transposed over beautiful forms\, either through natural means or by human hands. When pattern and form are combined in the right way\, I end up with sculptures that have an air of mystery and impossibility. I wish to instill my work with an inherent sense of history\, challenging the viewer to determine if my work was made as a ceremonial gift for an ancient ruler\, or perhaps petrified fruits yielded by an ancient\, primordial garden. \nTo learn more about Ben Strear click HERE. \nImage caption: Ben Strear\, Eroded Cylindrical Seal\, bass wood\, milk paint\, laquer\, 5″ x 15″.\n\nTrent Rhodes\nTrent Rhodes is a Grants Associate at the Brandywine River Museum of Art and a recent graduate of the Winterthur Program in Material Culture\, where he completed his thesis on Southern antique collectors and dealers. During his time at Winterthur\, Trent served as a visiting fellow at the Center for Art in Wood\, where he and a classmate worked with the director to begin reinstalling the permanent collection. Prior to graduate school\, he worked at the Minnesota Historical Society as a Research Assistant for an exhibition on suburbia. Trent has held internships at the American Craft Council and the Goldstein Museum of Design. He graduated from Carleton College in Northfield\, Minnesota\, with a Bachelor’s degree in Art History. \n\nBob Stocksdale\n\nImage: Paul J.

Hear Davis speak about his exploration of historical representations of blackness by composing stories\, told through a lexicon of graphic figures and shapes\, that oscillate between his personal memories and chapters of human history. A reception will follow the talk with the option to participate in a hands-on experience of building your own stories. \nDavis’ signature pre-cut shapes in wood and acrylic will provide inspiration and reflection as participants learn how to harness color and imagery in service of personal or subversive storytelling. \nThis workshop is open to ages 5 and up and welcomes all skill levels. \n\nPictured are pieces created during Woodcuts and Bolts: Storytelling with Damien Davis that took place on June 8\, 2019. You can make one of your own after the gallery talk.\nCost: $15 Members click HERE | $20 Non-Members click HERE\nSave on this and future workshops by becoming a member.\nAll materials are included in the cost of the workshop.\n \nDamien Davis (b. 1984) is a Brooklyn-based artist.

Davis’ work has been presented at museums and galleries across the US and in Italy\, and he is the recipient of numerous grants and residencies. He holds a BFA in Studio Art and an MA in Visual Arts Administration from New York University. \nThe Center for Art in Wood is a non-profit arts organization located in Philadelphia that interprets\, nurtures\, and champions creative engagement and expansion of art\, craft\, and design in wood to enhance the public’s understanding and appreciation of it. \nFor questions contact Katie Sorenson\, Community Engagement Manager at katie@museumforartinwood.org or 215-923-8000 ext 103.

SUMMARY:Artist Lecture: Humaira Abid
DESCRIPTION:Humaira Abid\, The Stains are Forever\, 2016. Photo: Adeel Ahmed.\nArtist Lecture: Humaira Abid | Sponsored by the University of the Arts and the Center for Art in Wood | Thurs\, April 16\, 2020 | Live on ZOOM at 5 pm EDT\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin the University of the Arts and the Center for a virtual Artist Lecture via ZOOM with Humaira Abid. Artist Humaira Abid’s life and passion is devoted to leveraging her artistic language to expose taboos and their harmful effects on society. In the exhibition Searching for Home\, on view at the Center for Art in Wood’s website\, Abid transports visitors into a concurrent reality\, in which tens of millions of people worldwide have fled their homes—a troubling narrative that the artist depicts through installations of carvings and paintings. Abid will discuss her work and how contemporary artists can engage with tradition while also subverting it to address societal problems\, taboos\, stereotyping\, and oppression. To attend virtually\, follow the link above. If you have questions please contact Katie Sorenson\, Community Engagement Manager at katie@museumforartinwood.org \n\n  \n\nPhoto of Humaira Abid by Amber Hammad \nHumaira Abid’s carved wood sculpture and paintings—known for their exquisite detail—depict human relationships\, societal repression\, and the consequences of keeping basic truths from being discussed and shared. The beauty and seductive virtuosity of her work offset her political\, ironic\, provocative\, and even scandalous objects and installations. \nHumaira Abid was born and raised in Lahore\, Pakistan. She immigrated to the United States in 2008 and now lives and works in Seattle\, WA. \nAbid received her BFA in sculpture and miniature painting from the National College of Arts\, Lahore\, in 2000. Her works have been exhibited in museums and galleries and documented in publications around the world and reviewed by local\, national\, and international news media. Abid is the recipient of numerous honors\, most recently the 2019 Artist Trust Arts Innovator Award. \nHer work has been published in books and other print media\, and she has been the recipient of prestigious awards and grants. She has lectured widely and participated in residencies and symposia around the world. Two documentary features focused on Abid and her work\, produced by the KCTS9 branch of PBS and Seattle Channel\, were both nominated for Northwest Emmy Awards. The artist is represented by Greg Kucera Gallery\, Seattle. \n

SUMMARY:Artist Talk with Dania Chelminsky
DESCRIPTION:Photo: Ran Erde\nArtist Talk with Dania Chelminsky | Thurs\, May 28\, 2020 | Live on ZOOM at 12:30 pm EDT\nRSVP \nJoin us for a lunch break with contemporary jewelry artist Dania Chelminsky. Dania will talk about her childhood immigration to Israel from Mexico City and how this experience turned her focus to the body and the material of wood as she pursued a career in metalsmithing. \nPhoto by the artist. \nDania Chelminsky was born in Mexico City in 1961 and has lived in Israel since 1970. She studied sciences\, metalworking\, design for the performing arts; in 2018\, she received her MA in Integrated Design at the Holon Institute of Technology. From 1988 to 2000\, she designed jewelry at her own studio and shop in Tel Aviv. After that\, she moved to a studio and started to investigate conceptual directions in the creation of jewelry. \nIn her work\, she combines contrasting materials\, mixing organic with synthetic\, hard with soft\, and crafted with found objects. Intrigued by the points at which these materials intersect\, Chelminsky uses traditional metalsmithing techniques to emphasize moments of tension. Her juxtaposition of such disparate elements allows her to tell a story with each of her pieces\, inspiring a moment of thought about the way we relate to the world that surrounds us. \nHer works have been profiled in international publications such as Metalsmith\, Portfolio\, Domus\, and Lark Books. She has exhibited her work extensively throughout the world\, with multiple solo exhibitions presented at Periscope Gallery\, Tel Aviv\, as well as at Museo Lazaro Galdiano\, Madrid. She has also participated in many group exhibitions\, including the Tel Aviv Biennial\, Eretz Israel Museum\, Tel Aviv; Alliages Gallery\, SHMUCK\, Munich\, and the Alliages collection\, Museum Espace Solidor\, Cagnes-sur-Mer\, France; the Islamic Art Museum\, Jerusalem; the Benaki Museum\,  Athens\, Greece; and Benedikt Aichele Atellier\, Paris\, France. \n\nThis event is free to the public. The Center for Art in Wood interprets\, nurtures\, and champions creative engagement and expansion of art\, craft\, and design in wood to enhance the public’s understanding and appreciation of it. A suggested donation of $5 per person enables us to provide programs and exhibitions throughout the year. \nDonate \nFor questions contact Katie Sorenson\, Community Engagement Manager at katie@museumforartinwood.org

Please note that this screening offers closed captioning. \nVon Rydingsvard in her Williamsburg studio on South 5th Street\, surrounded by the cedar cast of katul katul\, 2002. \nUrsula von Rydingsvard: Into Her Own is an artistic biography of one of the few women in the world working in monumental sculpture. Von Rydingvard’s work has been featured in the Venice Biennale and is held in the collections of some of the world’s great museums\, including New York’s Museum of Modern Art\, the Art Institute of Chicago\, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. But she may be best-known for work in Public spaces – imposing pieces painstakingly crafted with complex surfaces. \nVon Rydingsvard and assistants preparing to work on Ene Due Rabe\, San Francisco\, 1990. \nVon Rydingsvard working on the patina of Uroda\, a monumental copper sculpture commissioned by Princeton University\, 2015. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nIn this documentary\, we go behind the scenes with von Rydingsvard\, as she and her collaborators – cutters\, metalsmiths\, and others – produce new work\, including challenging commissions in copper and bronze. But the film also delves into the artist’s personal life\, and how it has shaped her work. Born in Poland during the Second World War\, she was partly raised in a displaced persons camp and came to the US as a refugee with her nine-person family. Her younger brother shares memories of being raised by their violent\, domineering father – a man whose influence von Rydingsvard continues to feel. Brought up in a blue-collar environment\, she became a teacher and then\, as a single mother\, moved to New York in the 1970s to take up her artistic practice full-time. \nIn conversations with curators\, patrons\, family\, and fellow artists\, we come to know von Rydingsvard as a driven but compassionate sculptor with a deep commitment to her art and the world around her. \nPlease also join us for the Into Her Own Panel Discussion on Thursday\, June 18\, 2020 at 6:30 with artists Ursula von Rydingsvard and Vivian Chiu and Daniel Traub\, the director of the film Ursula von Rydingsvard: Into Her Own moderated by Jennifer-Navva Milliken\, Artistic Director of the Center for Art in Wood. We’ll learn more about the monumental sculptures von Rydingsvard creates and the making of the film.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk with Erez Nevi Pana
DESCRIPTION:Artist Talk with Erez Nevi Pana | Fri\, June 26\, 2020 | Live on ZOOM at 2:00 pm EDT\nRSVP \nErez Nevi Pana takes an investigative and human-centered approach to both raw and discarded materials\, excavating their properties and exposing and extracting the hidden\, often toxic or destructive\, byproducts of industrial manufacture. His egalitarian attitude toward materials and makers brings poetry to objects of uncanny beauty—pure collaborations between nature and culture\, otherworldly but borne of the earth. \nReclaimed wood is the underlying structure for his salt objects. Nevi Pana eschews glue\, sanding papers\, and most varnishes\, which are made from animal-based ingredients. Lathe-turned and bound\, the wooden scaffolds are subjected to some of the most unique phenomena of nature. \nIn this don’t-miss talk\, Nevi Pana will share insights into his work\, his thoughtful research into materials and processes\, and his seminal thinking in Vegan Design as a curative approach to human-caused natural devastation. \nImage above from the Bleached and Salts series.

Nevi Pana earned his BA in design from the Holon Institute of Technology (Israel) and an MA from the Design Academy Eindhoven (The Netherlands) where his thesis focused on the recrystallization of salt. In 2015\, Nevi Pana formed La Terrasse in Eindhoven as a platform for designers\, artists\, writers\, and thinkers to work closely together\, share their thoughts on a central theme\, and realize their visions. The Design Museum Holon recently acquired two of Nevi Pana’s works\, which were developed from an organic material mixture of soil and fungi\, for their permanent collection in addition to three salt pieces from his solo exhibition at the museum. Nevi Pana practices research and design around the world as a doctoral student investigating the topic of vegan design. \n  \nThis event is free to the public. The Center for Art in Wood interprets\, nurtures\, and champions creative engagement and expansion of art\, craft\, and design in wood to enhance the public’s understanding and appreciation of it. A suggested donation of $5 per person enables us to provide programs and exhibitions throughout the year. \nDonate

SUMMARY:Rescheduled - 2019 Bob Stocksdale Award: Humaira Abid
DESCRIPTION:Rescheduled – The 2019 Bob Stocksdale International Excellence in Wood Award: Humaira Abid | Thurs\, July 23\, 2020 | 6:30 pm | Virtual Lecture Co-hosted by Winterthur Museum \n  \nRSVP \nJoin us to celebrate the fourth year of the Bob Stocksdale International Excellence in Wood Award. Supported by an anonymous donor\, this award is presented annually to an emerging or mid-career artist whose work\, like Stocksdale’s\, unites quality of craftsmanship and respect for materials. The 2019 recipient for the Bob Stocksdale International Excellence in Wood Award is Humaira Abid of Seattle\, WA. \nIn commemoration of the 2019 Stocksdale Award\, Emily Whitted\, a current Lois F. McNeil Fellow in the Winterthur Program in American Material Culture\, will present a virtual lecture on Abid and renowned master woodturner Bob Stocksdale (1913–2003). Whitted will discuss Abid’s work in the context of the values embodied by Stocksdale\, among them his quality of craftsmanship\, respect for materials\, and artistic innovation in the material of wood. \nAbid works in the disciplines of woodcarving and traditional Mughal miniature painting. Through her depictions of objects and figures\, Abid articulates themes that are often provocative and challenging\, amplified by her manipulation of heritage practices and the materiality of wood. Her carved and painted works\, known for their virtuosity and exquisite detail\, have been exhibited in museums and galleries and documented in publications around the world. \nImages above: Humaira Abid\, Searching for Home\, 2016-17.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk with Roy Underhill
DESCRIPTION:Artist Talk with Roy Underhill | Tues\, July 28\, 2020 | Live on ZOOM at 6:30 pm EDT\nRSVP \nJoin us for a talk with woodworking celebrity Roy Underhill! The talk will take place in his very own Woodwright School where Roy will share stories from his life and work\, including his experience hosting the hit PBS series The Woodwright’s Shop. Don’t miss this opportunity to spend an evening with a woodworking icon! \nRoy Underhill is an American woodworker and television show host. Born and raised in Washington\, D.C.\, he was the first master housewright at the Colonial Williamsburg reconstruction. Since 1979\, he has been the host of the PBS series The Woodwright’s Shop. Along with This Old House\, which debuted the same year\, it is the longest running PBS “how-to” show. \nUnderhill was introduced to traditional woodworking by a sister who worked at the Smithsonian Institution. He attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and earned a degree in Theater. In the early 1970s\, Roy and his wife moved to Colorado to form Homestead Arts\, an acting studio\, and then on to a remote area of New Mexico where traditional woodworking was one of the few means of survival. \nIn the late 1970s\, Roy moved back to North Carolina and studied at Duke University\, pursuing a multi-disciplinary course of study including engineering\, forestry\, and history; he was subsequently awarded a Master of Forestry in 1977. At the birth of his first daughter\, he approached the UNC Center for Public Television with an idea about a traditional woodworking show. Initially rejected\, the idea was finally accepted; in 1979\, filming began on The Woodwright’s Shop at West Point on the Eno in Durham\, NC. Around the same time\, he also took the job as master housewright and later director of interpretive development for Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia. \nMore recently\, Roy also works as a communications consultant. He is the author of several books\, including The Woodwright’s Eclectic Workshop and Woodwright’s Shop: A Practical Guide to Traditional Woodcraft. In 2011 he gave a presentation at TEDx Raleigh\, sharing the value of ingenuity and living in the present. \nRoy has started teaching traditional woodworking in a classroom environment he calls “The Woodwright’s School”. As of January 2014\, his classroom is located in Pittsboro\, NC. \nMany hand-tool aficionados hold Roy Underhill in extremely high regard and may refer to him as “St. Roy.” \nImage caption: Roy Underhill with VanGogh Chair.

SUMMARY:To Understand a Tree\, a work-in-process
DESCRIPTION:To Understand a Tree\, a work-in-process with Gina Siepel  | Thurs. July 30\, 2020 | 6:30 – 7:30 pm | LIVE on ZOOM\nRSVP \nWhat is the community of a tree? Are woodworkers part of it? What will happen if I\, as a woodworker\, place myself in a deeper relationship to the forest? \nInterdisciplinary artist and woodworker Gina Siepel discusses her ongoing work\, To Understand a Tree\, currently in process in the forest of western Massachusetts. To Understand a Tree is inspired by a desire to contemplate a living forest tree and its immediate habitat from the perspective of a woodworker\, directly engaging both the forest ecosystem and the furniture making process. In collaboration with naturalist Kate Wellspring and others\, Siepel is studying a single red oak tree\, integrating artistic and scientific methodologies. Forests are complex\, interconnected systems\, and in that spirit\, To Understand a Tree connects furniture and object making to questions of forest ecology\, climate change\, and resource extraction. \nImage above: Gina Siepel\, video still\, To Understand a Tree: Time\, 2020 \nGina Siepel \nGina Siepel is an interdisciplinary artist and woodworker based in Greenfield\, MA. Her work explores cultural understandings of nature\, gender\, and American history\, through the production of objects\, installations\, and collaborative experiments in public spaces. Past exhibitions include the DeCordova Museum\, the Colby Museum of Art\, Vox Populi Gallery\, the Center for Maine Contemporary Art\, Marlboro College\, Smith College\, Flux Factory\, and the Center for Art in Wood. Gina has received funding from the Massachusetts Cultural Council\, the Berkshire Taconic Foundation\, and the Puffin Foundation\, and has been an artist-in-residence at Skowhegan\, Mildred’s Lane\, Sculpture Space\, and Hewnoaks. Gina holds a BFA from the School of Art + Design at SUNY Purchase\, an MFA from the Maine College of Art\, and studied woodworking at the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship. In addition\, Gina has worked extensively in the field of theatrical scenic design and construction\, designing and building projects all over New York City and the northeast.
