THE ARTIST: FRIEDEMANN BUEHLER

Friedemann’s work is so mind-boggling when you see it in person that you immediately want to know how he made it. His wooden bowls are extremely light and delicate - they are unnaturally thin. They are clearly composed of a single piece of wood - a piece of a tree trunk. In fact, these shapes were created by erosion of water. The only comparison I can think of are the granite bowls and jars of ancient Egypt - also remarkably light and thin - although of a very different material.
