]]> Woodworking and art often cross paths, even if we don’t often recognize these moments. Wooden furniture, wooden tools, and other pieces made from wood are, in a sense, works of art. Artist and furniture maker Aspen Golann decided to make this connection more pronounced by blending furniture forms with sculpture and social practice.

Golann designs and creates all sorts of intriguing wood pieces ranging from chairs to brushes, brooms, and candle holders. Her pieces often feature quirky design solutions like a wavy wooden spoon, five brooms that share a single handle, and a double-loop brush.

According to Golann, who has been trained as a as a 17th-19th century woodworker, both function and aesthetics play a great part in her designs. 

“I find that function often suggests a starting point—like a place to put the hand, a type of anticipated movement, or an expected lifespan of the object,” Golann shared in a recent chat with Colossal.

Golann also runs a non-profit organization The Chairmaker’s Toolbox that aims to foster “access and equity in the field of chairmaking.” Since 2020, when the organization was founded, Golann partnered with a large number of museums, schools, and chairmakers to help woodworkers get necessary training and supplies.

]]> Talented artists don’t need an extensive color palette or impeccable canvas to create great works of art. One great example is Greek artist Melpomeni Chatzipanagiotou, who uses just pen and ink to create intricate drawings on wood slices.

Despite working with limited material, Chatzipanagiotou manages to pack her wood illustrations with amazing details and captivating scenes. These pieces often explore diverse themes, which is a result of the artist’s “broad interests,” as she explains on her official website.

Chatzipanagiotou’s creative process mainly focuses on “natural habitat and its living inhabitants“ that she pairs with some surreal elements in order to give her works an otherworldly touch.” She also looks to “pay homage to Mother Nature” while exploring themes on how all life is connected. This leads to drawings of flower-covered deer under a star-filled sky, dreamlike landscapes, and tranquil scenes of cabins in the woods. 

Aside from her wood slice illustrations, the artist also works on several other projects. This includes paper illustrations and drawings in a similar style. She is also working on a coloring book that will become available in 2023.

Chatzipanagiotou often shares her newest wood slice artworks on her official Instagram page, while some can also be purchased through her Etsy store. You can check out more of them below.
