Glenn Elvig | St. Paul, Minnesota
525.25 Inches of Held Space … approximately, 2026
12.7 x 13.3 x 12.7cm | 5 x 5.25 x 5 inches
I am guessing that the wood in this piece originally held space somewhere in a forest in Asia. Then it was milled in a space…and then it was turned into measured space. Then it was sent in some kind of shipping space…and then…ahhhhhhh…it landed in my studio space.
And now I am sending it on to other spaces.
Only held for short periods of time since it was a tree.
I hope you enjoy.
When I made a 5 inch cube … it seemed fitting that I attach a bit of Elvig humor that allowed one of the “planks” to move so that it was reflective of the kinetics of held space. Plus…if I made one of the “planks” 5.25 inches long… I could name the piece…“525.25 Inches of Held Space … approximately” (5 stacks of 21 planks times 5 inches plus 1/4 inch).
(Forklift included.)
About Glenn: Glenn Elvig
Born: Houston, Texas 1953 (72)
Glenn opened his studio in September of 1980. He is still going strong and says he feels like he is just getting warmed up. He actively exhibited his work from 1980 to 2005, at which point he decided to work strictly from his studio doing commissioned work in wood and aluminum, creating furniture and sculpture…both indoor and outdoor.
Glenn has received awards over the years … from a bronze medal at Alexandra Palace’s London Woodworkers Show in 1987 to a Best of Show Mixed Media at one of the American Craft Council shows here in the states.
His work is in many permanent collections, private and public, including the Museum for Art in Wood in Philadelphia, The Smithsonian, the Louisville Slugger Museum, and The Minneapolis Institute of Art. He served as the president of the Minnesota Crafts Council, and as a trustee of the American Craft Council in New York for six years.
Glenn can be found making a lot of noise and sawdust in his St. Paul, Minnesota studio. While he creates very serious works…some with chuckles are not far away.
