With pattern and detail that exudes incredible distinction at every turn, Bauermeister enlivens the character of his wooden muse through his carefully curated designs. Often imbued with concentric rings, they are cut from a wide board, stacked and laminated. Whether sanded or carved, shape predominates the work. Soft punctures emerge from the delicate surface of the form, leaving marks of the maker in its wake. Frequently applying treatment and color, while carving, painting, scorching and staining, Bauermeister creates compositions of stunning, unequivalent proportion.
