Volver
The Volver series reflects a personal period of transition I was on in 2019, I decided to work on damaged material to give it a new life, it started as a challenge against the decay of Time, but also as a way of researching through the potential those pieces still had despite their appearance.
All pieces come out of the same olive woodpile I collected salvaging small logs from an old and dismissed olive yard where the trees were mainly affected by bacteria, fungus, woodworms and have all dead wood parts.
VOLVER I & II | Olive wood | 28 x 28 x 10 cm & 19 x 19 x 14,5 cm | 2019
All pieces from this series are hand turned and hollowed out according to what I had in mind from time to time but they all belong to the same reflection on how to save material that would have been considered a waste by giving it new life. The wood resulted full of dead parts, elsewhere rotten and affected by fungus and bacteria, so that I chose to save only burls and the most interesting parts out of those trees.
