Juxtaposing nature with man-made objects, Pennsylvania-based artist Lee Stoetzel uses woods chosen for their natural flaws to make large-scale sculptures. In this video we visit Lee at his home studio where he's disassembling his life-size replica of a VW bus to transport to an art fair. He also shows us his latest work—giant models of fixed-gear bikes—and his workshop.
Mesquite is a hard wood, but have you ever worked with ipe otherwise known as ironwood? It is the most relentless, dense lumber in the world. The only wood with the same fire rating as concrete and weighs (i believe) 66 lbs. per cubic foot. That's heavier than water so it sinks. I use it to make tools for shaping metal. Beautiful work and concept! enjoyed the vid!
