About the Work
DHPW 037 is built across a dark, compact piece of petrified wood whose natural surface carries deep brown, burgundy, gray, and amber mineral coloration. Gold, copper, orange, red, and black symbols spread across the face in a concentrated radial composition, with the metallic elements catching against the darker stone. The irregular edges, fractures, and exposed mineral areas remain visible throughout the work rather than being concealed beneath the painted surface.
This is an original one-of-one artwork created on a 200-plus-million-year-old piece of raw petrified wood from Northern Arizona. The natural form, mineral structure, surface, and geological characteristics of the stone are unique to this individual object. The symbols were created specifically in response to this particular piece of petrified wood and are not reproduced as an edition.
