The Source Series
Lee Imonen will create three pieces (Picket Fence, Pine Box, and Lumber Unit), each made from a single salvaged or windfall tree. One half of each log will remain in its natural form, while the other half will be reconfigured and emerge into an object that would typically be made from that wood. The series is intended to highlight the transformation of materials from one form into another, reaffirm our dependence on natural resources and foster an awareness of the origins of common materials surrounding each of us.
