Fred Aartun

Wood Object 2

Carved from a single piece of oiled walnut, this small sculptural tool holds an ambiguous function, a form that invites touch and interpretation. Its curved edge suggests movement and utility, yet it remains primarily an exploration of balance, weight, and grain.

Maker

Fred Aartun works with wood through a language of calm precision. His hand-carved spoons and utensils take shape slowly, each emerging from the pace of carving rather than from a predetermined design. Grain directs the process: the knife follows its line, adjusting to knots and fibres, revealing a form already latent within the material.
