John Procario, Crevasse Series No.4, USA
-
Description
The Crevasse Series is inspired by topography, its twisting forms reminiscent of roads. The sculpture’s curvilinear forms split, open, and expand to reveal a wide basin, internally illuminated by LEDs.
Having grown up around his carpenter father’s workshop, John Procario brought his love of woodworking to the world of design. After studying sculpture in graduate school, Procario developed a unique aesthetic that influences his sculptural furniture and lighting. This aesthetic began with the idea of wood as metaphor for the human body. Just like bone or muscle, wood will bend comfortably to a point, then snap. Procario pushes the limit of breakage to create a sense of strain in the otherwise fluid gestures of his wooden works. Conceptually, this allows beauty to be the product of stress. -
