Honouring the history of wood
- • Lars uses naturally-felled wood from near his workshop
- • Woodworking is like therapy for him
- • His first work was a head: half eagle, half human
Lars Zech’s workshop is located in the town of Gechingen, Germany, at the northern edge of the Black Forest. His work is deeply rooted in the natural world, which is the source of both his raw materials and his inspiration. He only uses tree trunks that come from near his workshop, which have been cut down due to disease, age or the weather. Some of them are hundreds of years old. “Seeing all the history of an ancient tree with missing branches and physical injuries leaves me awestruck, and I feel that I should take care of it. In using them for my sculptures, I feel that I am giving them new life, giving them back the energy and majesty that they once possessed.”

Oak bleached
This bowl-like sculpture was created using a chainsaw rather than a lathe and finished using traditional carpentry tools. The wood was then bleached using a time-intensive procedure.
