Synopsis
Charles Ray writes: “Ten years ago, while driving up the central coast of California, I spotted a fallen tree in a meadow just off the highway. I was instantly drawn to it... [and] was inspired to make a sculpture.” In Log, Ray describes the making of this sculpture, a work that saw him collaborate with Japanese master woodworker Yuboku Mukoyoshi in an effort to capture the life of wood, and to make an object that would “breathe life into the world that surrounds it.” Ray's sculpture is now on view at the Art Institute of Chicago.
