Wood Life at the Experimental Wood Workshop

Ten maker teams in Chiayi's old prison staff quarters.

Four carved wooden people around an enormous wooden hand: one hugs his knees on a tall dark plinth, another rests his head beside the hand, and two stand behind in pale and black shirts.

Meet the carved characters, then the furniture-and-sculpture practice behind them.

Wood Life runs through November 15 in the Experimental Wood Workshop, within Chiayi's old prison staff-quarter area. The exhibition is in the south building and the wood-object shop in the north building. Walk from Beimen station in about eleven minutes.

A three-legged wooden stool with a central hole, separate stool parts, a carved figure and bird hooks stand before white pegboard; the panel at left introduces the two makers.
