About the Artwork

Wood Assemblage: suggestive composition made by fitting together various-sized pieces of wood (aged Douglas Fir), which is cut, shaped, glued, stained, painted, sanded and finished with wax.
I aspire to render the wood to a fluid, to work as easily with wood as though it were a pencil, so I can scribble and doodle until there’s something worth polishing, worth endorsing and strengthening.
This 'portrait' or 'profile' revealed itself.

Laird Campbell

Duncan, British Columbia

These wood assemblages are compositions that randomly emerge from cutting, shaping and arranging pieces of wood, most of which is aged tongue and groove Douglas Fir. Once assembled I sand and paint and stain. The finished piece is waxed and polished.

"I aspire to work as easily with wood as though it were a pencil, so I might scribble and doodle until there is something worth strengthening, aiming for a suggestion that might be easily acknowledged, all the while moving at such a pace that the material seems to assemble itself."
