Woodland Whispers by No.29
"Woodland Whispers," an evocative exhibition by no.29, transforms the entry room of Amelie, Maison d'Art's NYC location into a contemplative sanctuary.
At the heart of this immersive installation lies a dialogue with Linde Freya Tangelder's masterful Curving Wood, whose organic forms serve as both inspiration and counterpoint. Unveiled during Collectible Fair week, the exhibition captures autumn's ephemeral beauty through works that celebrate the subtle interplay between artistic intention and natural serendipity.
The centerpiece of this exhibition, the Marbled Corner trio, presents berry cakes with intricate chocolate and vanilla patterns that echo the natural flow of woodgrain. These sculptural desserts capture the spontaneous artistry found in nature's own designs, each swirl telling a story of serendipitous beauty.
Nearby, the Ebony Pond reimagines the classic tiramisu as a landscape of concentric rings, its cocoa-dusted surface evoking the serene ripples of autumn waters. This contemplative piece speaks to the rhythmic patterns found in both natural formations and traditional Japanese gardens.
The installation's exploration of texture continues with Little Slate, where hand-crafted seaweed crisps rise from a foundation of multigrain and sesame bread. These delicate structures, adorned with sesame seeds and salmon flakes, mirror the intricate ecosystems of moss and lichen found in wilderness landscapes.
The exhibition concludes with Cocoa Frost Stone, presenting a study in contrasts that juxtaposes a weathered exterior with the unexpected tenderness of chiffon cake and fresh strawberries within. This piece embodies the installation's central theme: the coexistence of strength and delicacy in the natural world.
Each carefully considered element invites viewers to pause and reflect on the quiet poetry of the organic world, creating an experience that transcends traditional boundaries between food and fine art.
