The Provider generation explores the connection between everything with its wooden sculptures

The work of the sculptor, Jill Provl, appears to be a modern and craftsmanship inspired at the same time. It is made of hundreds of parts. Complex, however, when watching a distance, is soft and firm. We have asked the artist to go into his operation and topics and a little of his background as an artist.

Hi-Fruuto: You excite your sculptures, yet you have a natural feeling with the use of materials like wood …

Provel generation: I have always been attracted to wood for many of the same reasons I mentioned. Besides its touch quality and organic warmth, Wood carries the element of growth and time within itself. All episodes, grains, and sophisticated structures tell a story – a story related to both microscopes and cosmic politicians.

Details and changes for each piece appear unlimited, however it collects together as a whole. It brings back to the mind, the galaxy, space, small, and the endless overflow of things …

exactly. The concept of infinity, whether in the microscopic or sample – is something that inspires my work deeply. The wood itself has a direct relationship between these two scales. When we look at it with the naked eye, we see its growth rings, which represents the time in a concrete way. These patterns remind us over time, and somewhat, reflect the structure of the universe – the patterns of flying trees that are frequented in vast strands of galaxies.

At the same time, when you cut a board of wood into sticks with different dimensions and collect them in the face, the visible rings create a quarter, half or complete circular patterns. When stacked together, these organic patterns form a random fabric. For me, this represents how we imagine time – it is not fixed but transformations depending on our mental state. The way the pieces come together, talking to the bonding between all things, from the smallest cellular structures to the huge unknown universe.

I noticed that there are some areas where a “missing” piece is; The smooth surfaces are broken due to their absence, creating small shades. I think your work will not have the same effect without these deviations … “defects” that make the sculpture look more real for me …

I see these “faults” as a deep metaphor for our humanity. They are not disadvantages, but they are doing options that speak to the transient and unexpected nature of life. When a piece is missing or the smooth surface is boycotted by a small shade, it reflects the gaps and separations that we all face – those moments of weakness and change them in the end.

In my work, these deviations create a dialogue between what is complete and what remains open, and they call us to recognize that perfection is not the true essence of our existence. Instead, it is in irregularity and unexpected absence where real beauty is found. They remind us that our lives are a mixture of light, shadow, certainty and ambiguity, and that every “incomplete” moment contributes to our continuous narration.

Reflection faces, with their deliberate disorders, are similar to the current moment. They put us on the flow of life that appreciates the idealism. By adopting the inherent defects, I hope to encourage a mentality where we see every experience, even those that are characterized by absence or deviation, which provides us with endless capabilities to grow, transform and show a more positive and more positive approach in living.

These missing elements, deliberate absence in my sculptures, embody the essence of unstabilities. They repeat the natural world, as there is nothing fixed – wooden ages and elements that move away, and they move every moment to another. By intentionally creating gaps, I invite the viewer to think that what is missing is important as it exists.

Also in our lives, we often focus on concrete moments, which are temporary moments – things that get away with our experiences. These voids remind us that lack of stability is not a defect, but it is a beautiful part of existence. They encourage us to estimate the present and find beauty in the continuous change process, and not in a fixed ideal state.
