Rustic Modernity
By: Clay Remington

Clay Remington’s work begins where the cooper’s ends. “I start with slivers of once great trees which have been rendered, formed, and seemingly served their purpose. Once the vintner and time have taken their turns, I reawaken the wood with bold washes of color and finish. I don’t see discarded staves as diminished. Instead, I envision and bring forth character and texture that only aging or use, even neglect can execute. I’m certainly trying to make something pleasing. Beauty is evolutionary in creation as the wood frustrates and reveals. But in a deeper way, my work can illustrate that there is a wisdom in the wood. That through victories and struggles; the shifting expectations, abilities, and purposes we all come to know, there’s both value in our experience and renewal we can find within ourselves and others.”
