Untitled-The work I choose is a very nice shaped arm hang on the wall. The arm once upon a time was belong to a body and was alive but now is apart from its body which means no longer alive— cannot feel anything, do anything, contain its beauty anymore.
In Ricky Swallow’s works I always can find beauty and doleful, alive being and death together. His works show his futilitarian thoughts.
Wood is really a right material for him to use for his pieces. There are warm feelings in the wood products. Also wood is from nature. It feels closer to our feeling than metal and plastic.
Mean well, wood has some kind of character of lightness but also frozen feeling.
