Title: AHC003 ON2/08
Artists: Hunt Clark
Price: $7,475
Dimensions: 13" x 17" x 11"
Materials: Osage Orange
Other info: Hunt's convoluted forms are so original and unique, they are difficult to describe, even for noted authorities. His work has no boundaries, having no prescribed viewing positions or titles. It is important to Hunt to allow the viewer to experience the work through their own personal history and not have it dictated by himself. His integrity and respect for the art form, and technically perfect work makes him a "remarkable newcomer who has embarked on a career that should be watched with great interest."

Title: Fragments #19
Artists: Christian Burchard
Price: $8,000
Dimensions: Overall Size 29" x 56"
Materials: Bleached Madrone Burl
Other info: When I am working with the panels I am looking for certain patterns. Patterns that are known to us from nature: landscapes, maps, bodies and birds. A pattern or image that elicits a visceral response. How come a piece of wood looks like a torso or the flight of birds? When the image is quiet enough to have some space for me, it becomes a canvas and I can add to or change the direction of the energy.

Title: AHW200 Maple Vessel
Artists: Howard Werner
Price: $22,000
Dimensions: 60" x 20" x 20"
Materials: maple
Other info: Howard Werner received a degree in woodwork and furniture design from The School for American Craftsmen at Rochester Institute of Technology. His greatest inspiration, however, comes from the world of sculpture and the work of Brancusi and Noguchi. Howard has been direct-carving sculpture and furniture from large tree sections since the mid 1970's. Howard Werner's work is influenced by both classical forms from Greece and Italy as well as primitive carvings from Africa and Oceana. The tools and raw materials he employs are important to the finished work. His process is evident in the rough chain sawn surfaces and the untouched natural sections of the trees that are prominent on many pieces.

Title: ATM039 040708
Artists: Thierry Martenon
Price: $2,575
Dimensions: 30" x 9.5" x 3.5"
Materials: maple
Other info: My work consists of an aesthetic search for the shape and the material. The outline of the pieces is thought over according to simple and pure lines that endow the object with some serenity. The treating of the surface allows to give a personal touch to the work. In order to obtain the different aspects of roughness, scratch, or carbonization, a precise knowledge of the techniques and meticulous work are necessary. In order to obtain some textures, I even use a blow torch, a kind of chain saw or acid.

Artists: Hunt Clark
Price: $10,450
Dimensions: 7" x 36" x 12"

His sculptural forms evolved from a contemporary art background. He is a multi-media artist currently working in video installations and sculpture. He has also completed significant bodies of work in photography and painting. "It has been my objective as an artist to define myself by the results of my convictions and not by a medium."

Title: ATM001 250507
Artists: Thierry Martenon
Price: $5,950
Dimensions: 19.5" x 19.5" x 3"
Materials: maple, walnut
Other info: My work consists of an aesthetic search for the shape and the material. The outline of the pieces is thought over according to simple and pure lines that endow the object with some serenity. The treating of the surface allows to give a personal touch to the work. In order to obtain the different aspects of roughness, scratch, or carbonization, a precise knowledge of the techniques and meticulous work are necessary. In order to obtain some textures, I even use a blow torch, a kind of chain saw or acid.
The work done on the material gives birth to a contrast between light and shadow. The notches of the wood create the downstrokes and the upstrokes; the polishings permit the brightness or the dark effect. To this, we must add the nature of the wood which according to it's colors or it's irregularities will contribute to different results. I principally use local species such as walnut, maple, ash etc. By making use of the specific characteristics of each species and by combining sometimes different materials such as metal, slate or wax linen with the wood, I endow the piece with its special richness.
