Hugh Townley
Hugh Townley’s
inventive and individual wit was never far from the surface in his work
in wood relief and sculpture. Townley’s intricate assemblages of
band saw-cut shapes—reliefs and chains and boxes—rendered
in a variety of common and rare woods, such as mahogany, obiche, oak and
walnut—all employ the recurring, imaginative, and often whimsical
iconography of forms from nature that signify his work.
The grain of the wood, the marks left by the saw, and other natural imperfections
inform the design, and in combination, lend themselves readily to the
exploration and interpretation that is always evident in his work.
