"Hinoki has a seductive, tactile presence. It boasts impeccable
craftsmanship with an ornate and varied surface where original
impressions of bark have been translated into an expert vocabulary of
descriptive lines. As such it is constantly shifting, depending on your
vantage, between a carved surface and a trompe l’oeil reproduction."

Currently in our studio classes we are experimenting with different textures and the techniques that will allow said textures to be created. I am really enjoying the trial and error process of learning what methods form certain textures in art and design.
This quote, from an article on Art21, immediately caught my eye because it directly correlates to what we are exploring in class. The piece "Hinoki" by Charles Ray displays an imitation of actual texture, but in doing so it possesses it own actual, tactile texture. I find this work of art to be dynamic and loved reading about it. Picard's article is an interesting one and describes the artwork in depth.
