All images from Andy Vogt's hallway project Boundary Lines at Eli Ridgway Gallery last year. From the gallery:
Based on the sculptural potential of lumberyard detritus, Vogt uses additive and reductive approaches to delineate the facets of raw material. His vision of well-worn, structural demise finds a language in the crisp edges and broken off-cuts of discarded plywood - scavenged from disintegrating Bay Area architectures. For Boundary Lines, the artist will mine the transitional space of the gallery's entry hallway to produce a mixture of site specific installation and sculpture, where saw marks become a drawing medium and fractured lath plays in the formalism of line weight.
I absolutely adore what Vogt does with wood, how he often creates deceptively minimalist sculptures that nevertheless defy gravity or bend light just so. As it happens Eli Ridgway has another exhibition of his work up right this very moment, but you only have through Saturday to experience it so hop to it.
