Root Stag – video

Video description

About 2 minutes 20 seconds, filmed handheld in sunlight: the camera circles the dark polished root sculpture lying on artificial grass, showing its crown of antler-like points, the round knob on its back and the long thin root tail, with close-ups of the polished wood. (no sound)

Root Stag

A dark, polished root that rears up to a crown of sharp points like a stag's antlers, with a small round knob and a long root tail behind. It is made of dry tamarisk wood found at the Sea of Galilee (Kinneret). What once lived underground now stands proud.

  • Dark, polished sculpture in the form of a branching root with antler-like points and a small round knob, lying on a lawn
  • The root sculpture seen from the front on artificial grass in a garden: the dark polished body rears up to a crown of sharp antler-like points, with the round knob and the long thin root tail behind it
  • The root sculpture from another angle, lying on a long wooden garden table: reddish-brown wood with antler-like points rising at one end and long thin roots stretching out, with a hedge and garden in the background

The raw material

This is how the material looked before it was worked into the sculpture.

  • The raw material: a pale, sun-bleached driftwood root with long twisting branches and one tall upright stem, standing on sandy ground in front of a flowering hedge, with a round dark stone resting at one end – the same kind of stone that sits on the back of the finished sculpture
