Transitional
“Woods Davy, who lives in Los
Angeles, has established a considerable reputation in the creation of
large-scale abstract sculptures involving natural material and other
media. For a number of years his aesthetics were Japanese – not in any
directly imitative manner, but in a deep identification with Japanese
notions of natural materials, harmony with the environment, and the
incorporation of individual irregular details into an overall structure
of serenely balanced energies. More recently, his imagination has
turned towards Africa, both as an ardent collector of traditional
African tribal art and in his own work, which has taken a significantly
different direction.”
