Night

Artist: Szonja Vucsetics

Medium: Plane & Cedar Logs

“Night” consists of two wooden sculptures side-by-side, depicting a reclining human figure wrapped in a blanket, sleeping beside a small campfire. The figure is carved out of a single plane tree log, and the fire from a cedar stump. Stained black, with pieces of shell and metal flake inlay, the blanket depicts a night sky rendering an image of the universe.

This installation explores the connection between micro- and macrocosm (mortal human life within vast infinity), and nature as our beginning, ending, nurturer and destroyer.
