Forest Sculptures by Spencer Byles

Octavian C. on

Towering woven structures, hanging pods and large-scale constellations of shapes, Spencer Byles creates theatrical or even supernatural realms within the picturesque woodland environment. The pieces seem to communicate with the viewer, playing on the tension between accident and design.

The sculptures begin to disintegrate soon after their creation, something many land artists have explored and an idea that Byles is taken by. This full circle gives the organic pieces a powerful poetic and philosophical touch.
