Wood-stone,
stone-wood are two opposite materials: one is vegetable, the other is
mineral; one is soft and warm, the other is cold and rough; one is
the pulse of life, the other one is motionless, dead. Nevertheless,
in Kazik Gasior's sculptures one is part of the other. In this
relationship where the worlds are opposed, they pass each other, they
mingle, they confront each other, they tear each other but they also
dance, they sing , they respect each other, they coexist. In these
passionate and complex relationships, the interaction of the forces
is often brought out. Amber, a material that is halfway between
mineral and vegetable, sometimes comes up as a mediator. This
mysterious fossil has the virtue to regulate the energy. Thanks to
this virtue, it knows very well how to calm tensions and conflicts,
which are part of the relation stone wood. It is a race, an endless
race between life and death where there is no winner. Therefore the
link between the forces is neutralized, allowing the two opposite
materials to be one: the woodstone.
