There are several ways to bend a piece of wood or wood stick,one of them is steaming bending, which is a traditional woodworking technique used to bend wood into desired shapes and curves. Steam bending is commonly used in making furniture, musical instruments, and boat parts. It allows for smooth, continuous curves without compromising the wood's strength and integrity.
Using the technique of bending wood to create a sense of clear distinction in layers and an infinite loop of curves seems to be a very fitting expression.
Katie Walker's 'Still Breathing' (2023) skillfully bends wood strips to create a layered and progressive decorative effect.
Artist Pierre Renart is a master cabinetmaker, fully in command of his medium and the endless possibilities for manipulating wood into forms seen first as sculpture, which then reveals itself as furniture. His Möbius Bench is ribbon of teak, winding around itself with no beginning and no end, a sculptural metaphor for infinity.
