Through his Biosphere series, Wouter researches how nature build its structures and explores the seemingly random organisation of surfaces. The composition is intended to be somewhat chaotic. In the process however, Wouter realised that true chaos does not exist, that it is only on the surface of things, and that neither nature, nor the human mind, allows for true chaos.

This piece is part of the Biosphere series and was designed with the idea of expanding the surfaces of the individual openings in order to create another sense of perspective. Through the series, Wouter researches how nature builds its structures and explores the seemingly random organisation of surfaces.

This piece, carved from a single block of walnut wood, draws on a mathematical and geometrical study. The title “Channelling Light” came to Wouter somewhat spontaneously, after looking at the finished sculpture: it looks almost like a light-fragmentation machine, drawing in light and sending it out again.

This sculpture, made from a single block of wood, has an almost charcoal-like or metallic feel to it. Chisel and chainsaw marks scar the surface, lending it a more natural look.

Contrary to Wouter’s main body of work, consisting of sculptures carved from single blocks of natural wood, his Linéaire series is made entirely of plywood, a man-made material. Wouter’s aim was to give the piece an organic feel, leaving it in an apparent natural state. The superposition of rather simple forms results in a work where order and chaos seem to coexist.
