My recent work consists of human and animal figures carved from found wooden objects and old bricks. Carving allows me to retain part of an iconic form while emphasizing the rendered image on the top portion. On a functional level, the uncarved portion serves as a pedestal to elevate the importance of the figure; on a conceptual level, the uncarved portion’s nostalgic shape adds to the ethos of the figure. — Chris Berti
