...Wood is one of the most widely used materials in the world. For a wood extension project, I decided to extend my plank of wood physically and conceptually. I decided to create a phone from a plank of wood and turn it into a persuasive poster in order to raise awareness of being present, being mindful of everything that the "now" moment contains. Wood is clearly a natural resource. At the spiritual level, trees help people become more aware of the connections with something larger than themselves. In mythology, trees are sometimes portrayed as the abodes of nature spirits. Trees call people to a state of “mindfulness,” where they become better in tune with and more compassionate toward the surroundings. I came across the idea of extending my...

...After finishing school at Brighton, Nash moved to North Wales before returning to Chelsea for one year in 1969. In Wales he purchased a chapel which has remained both his studio and home ever since. Wales was ideal for Nash, because he was surrounded by abundant resources and plenty of time to further develop his wood works. 2. The most interesting thing I discovered about David Nash was that he uses a chainsaw and axe as his primary tools as well as using a blowtorch in many of his works.David Nash uses wood as a medium for all his works. His interest in working with wood began as a child, when Nash helped clear and replant a forest his father owned. He also worked for the Commercial Forestry Group, where he learned about many kinds of wood. He is known for doing land art involving wood that remains in nature, as well as displaying his wood sculpture in studios. He carves wood from fallen trees as well as creates sculptures from growing plants. 3. Nash first decided to move to Wales after graduating from Brighton College due to the extremely low cost of living. In these years he experimented with making tower like sculptures and some very abstract works. He used paint to give more detail to these sculptures as well, which was unique to this period for Nash. He continued experimenting with this tower theme when he returned to Chelsea School of Art in 1969-1970. 4. Upon graduating from Chelsea, Nash decided to experiment with some smaller more natural lengths of wood rather...
