Gary Li: Looking Out Week 3

We have lost touch with our primitive roots in how we immediately jump to technology wherever it is available. Wood is no longer hand-carved and instead carved by a programmed machine. Sure machines are more accurate, more time efficient, and simpler to make. However the imperfections made by human hands, in my opinion, should be more valuable than the perfection by a machine. Seeing imperfections within a piece makes one wonder how something was made. Respect to those who still hand-carve.

Here are a few hand-carved pieces by Aleph Geddis.
