Turbo Form

MAX BROSI Material and TechniqueGreen Oak Lathe Turned, Sandblasted7.75" H x 6.5” W x 5” D About The WorkThree axis form turned from wet oak before being carved and sandblasted. Stylized interpretation of the turbo from an engine. Brosi's work is typified by simple, reduced forms, turned over multiple axis' from wet wood. After turning, the pieces are left to distort as they dry before being sandblasted to reveal the grain. Brosi works in distinct sculptural series, each communicating a concept or expressing an idea. Some series use carving, texturing, and metals, to achieve this end. He is driven by a desire to expose the honesty and imperfection in the material, often bleaching or ebonizing the sandblasted wood so that all the viewer is left with are form and texture.
