    Wood Carvings

     

    Carved Wood CapitalsAn art historian, George Hersey, believed that columns elicit an empathetic response, us connecting with forces that come from external things. We see the adorned column as ourselves standing upright under stress, holding something up, just as many people see themselves as trees, rooted and always spreading, even the skin tells a story in the manner that the bark does. Emotions such as “come in” or “I am jubilant” were expressed with the animals and plants that adorned the capitals sitting atop of the columns. Columns adorned with capitals became visual “words” in the Greek culture, certain columns and capitals fit certain building sizes, shapes, and looks. Columns were not always placed within different spaces, they were put with different amount of space between them and it created a rhythm when looking upon the design. Capitals revamped the Greek architectural language. It is so easy to bring home the feel the past decades, easily adding elaboration to your entrance way or a grand room. It is a great way to communicate the ancient language of Greek architecture to your house guests. Every time you gaze at the capital sitting atop of the column, thoughts of your strength and triumph as well as the triumph of the ancient heroes will come to mind.
