Sculptor Aleph Geddis creates a collection of geometric figures that are made from wooden materials. The concept of art borders between ideas of abstract and identifiable design, creating an imaginative observation. It is influenced by the traditions of woodcarving and totems that are done by the indigenous people from the Pacific Northwest.
Geddis carefully carves every sculpture by hand. The credits that the artist gives for the new works stem from his trip to Japan -- there, he was exposed to the culture and its rich tradition of woodworking. He built upon this idea and applied it to his sculptural experimentation. His work merges elements of the rational themes of math and platonic solids fueled by the area of sacred geometry.
