About the Item
The title of Benjamin Heller’s group of sculptures, “Inner Tidal” refers to an “Intertidal Zone”, which is the edge of an ecosystem that is alternately above and below the waterline at the edge of a river or ocean. The handmade wood and stone sculptures are of an intimate human scale that can be held in the hands or hold the body. The pieces are punctuated by the intimate landmarks of the interior and exterior of the human body abstracted by the fluid natural forces that transform the landscape. This phenomenon of solid yet moving ground is also present in the nested bases that are carved hold the impression of the sculptures.
The carved “Drop” sculptures are solid wood yet fluid in form and movement. They are self-balancing so that they can be held and moved into different relationships with each other. In order to achieve this fluidity and carefully balanced center of gravity, these sculptures are painstakingly hand-made through a gradual and labor-intensive process of carving, sanding, and being carved internally and filled with lead as ballast.
