The process behind "Big Woods".⁠ (@poritzandstudio) ⁠ Big Woods, a sculptural paean to the woodlands of Aaron Poritz's youth, marks this growth. Employing a variety of subtractive fabrication processes—hand and robotic carving, charring, and stack lamination—to make these functional forms in bleached ash and ancient oak, Aaron has produced a visual language all his own, evocative of body, plant, and landscape. Some of the pieces are supremely sensuous and sophisticated, while others are surprisingly raw and naïve. Together they reveal the full panoply of wood’s potential for expression.
