Description

This carving is a tunnel made from a huge root of a tree. It is a part of a series of pieces created for the Vancouver Biennale and is one of the works that were installed in parks and spaces around Squamish for the public to engage with and enjoy.

Atelier Hugo França’s principle is to transform trunks, roots and parts of trees that are generally rejected.

The raw wood material is stored at the atelier in Trancoso, Brazil, then chosen by Hugo according to its texture and organic shape for various projects. Hugo’s inspiration is drawn directly from the natural curves and shapes of the wood, following the paths created by nature.
