Our next featured artist is Tim Schuett. To view his work or commission a piece please check out his page The Great Indoors IC and Instagram Great Indoors IC.
His process is very interesting and is best understood in his words.
"I have a passion to create unique furniture and art pieces. Most of all I love to ZAP those works with high voltage electricity, over 2,000 volts, to create unique and beautiful fractal patterns burnt into the wood. These very intricate and amazing looking burns are also know as "Electric Trees."
Fractal patterns are found all around us in nature. So much so you probably don't even notice their chaotic and repetitive patterns. They are found in mountain ranges, watershed systems, hurricanes, lightning, clouds, seashells and much much more!
In respect of these Electric Tree designs I try to use only re-purposed, salvaged or reclaimed wood in order to lower my impact on our home sweet home, Earth. No need to buy new material when there are so many old chairs and tables that can be re-purposed to create new pieces, so many construction site dumpsters full of wood that can be saved from the landfill, and too many disregarded barns or homes left for dead with so much history and wood that can be brought back to life."
