Rise and Fall

good morning Mr. boxologist..I think you have the timeline backwards..today is chaos!!! :-) :-) Thanks for sharing this. Very cool concept

-- We call the destruction of replaceable human made items vandalism, while the destruction of irreplaceable natural resources is called development.

Nice design and work. Looks good as shown. Good job.

Good job Martyn.
Is that black dyed birch? You really have a nice contrast with the squares.

Yes, Steve, its black dyed Birch.

Those are perfect as we have come to expect from you. The other wall hangings are special as well.

You are an artist with wood Martyn.

Martyn ~ Another very cool wall piece. I love the concept and my mind went immediately to rearranging the squares into different arrangements. You’re stairway is filling out quite nicely!

-- I just got done cutting three boards and all four of them were too short. (true story)

Nice art Martyn. I see the burl as overtaking the order when I view the pictures.
It must take forever for a new guest to climb the stairs at your abode.

I love how these both tell a story and show off the wood. These are my kind of wall decoration – beautiful and thought provoking. I’d want them a bit larger so everyone would notice and ask!

Martyn,
Another nice one. Hopefully, we still have a lot of upside potential on the civilization issue.

Wow, Martyn, what an interesting visual concept. To me, it looks like Ultimate Freedom (nothin’ left to lose) on its way to cubicled, regimented constraint. I guess you can tell where my head its. But it’s a show-stopper. I can picture people in your house, or on the stairwell, silenced mid-sentence to really Look, and actually Think. Great job!

It makes me think of the old theme ”Fight the rising (in this case falling) tide of conformity”.
It is an interesting sequence and as all good art leaves the viewer the opportunity to interpret as he / she will.

Nicely done and certainly stimulating for the mind.

Well done and very interesting statement from a artistic perspective.
