Olalla Castro – F

F for Forest. From Beijing to Lugo, from East to West. Layers of branches, layers of letters and strokes. Mixed materials from one place and another gather to reinvent the concept of a forest (as an accumulation). Wood, paper, prints, silk, emptiness, space.

Work in progress where the character 木 /mu/ which means tree or wood converts into the character forest 森林 /sen lin/ which is formed by 3 “mu’s” on top of each other(森) plus 2 more “mu’s” (林). Something very visual, as if by gathering 5 single trees you’d get a whole forest.
