"Wood Inventions and Creations," by John Fiske, steam-bent decorative and (nearly) practical objects

Friday, May 3—Friday, May 31All DayArt GalleryWeston Public Library87 School Street, Weston, MA, 02493

Starting as a young boy, with his father’s tutelage, John has built loudspeakers, furniture, canoes, a daysailer, and now bent wood objects. John has migrated the steam bending techniques he learned in his canoe/boatbuilding projects to the abstract. He never uses plans; instead, he lets the wood tell him what to do. Many of the pieces here are remote derivatives of his initial ideas. Sometimes the finished work comes close to the starting concept. Questions: johnfiske@comcast.net, 978 880-4125.
