Forest Heart
Wood Picture for Gerdayesh
Forest Heart is a project-like work in Naqshbandi, a method of doing marquetry claiming to be the implementation of a new period in this wood art's history. Initially, it depicts the figure of a bird, each piece of its body from the wood of a forest tree. The remarkable point, however, is not only keeping original colors of woods, as it is typically done in all marquetry works, it also saves patterns, light shade-waves, and textures. A world of startling discoveries each piece has with even a magnifier look, so its viewers can spot woods' natural fortuities.

Unique Properties
This art project tries to fulfill three intended purposes: 1. Taking a fresh look at wood to explore a new perception in it and to harmonize with its pure nature as well, so we can come up with original ideas to create real art. 2. Applying an innovative technique in working with wood and also in using common tools so we could achieve adequate quality in our performance. 3. Discovering, creating and defining new ways to gain desired images by tracing natural patterns in pieces of wood and making a synthesis between them.

Production Technology
Defining a geometrical table based on cutting angles plus a method of cutting for even 1 mm pieces, and trying to have desired wood patterns and spots by restoring in perfect conditions like natural moisture percentage, etc. to benefit from bacteria activity were the main production phases. The types of wood, they were haloxylon for the body and the head, barberry for the tail, fig for the feet, tree of heaven for the nose and the leaves, acer monspessulanum (keykom) for the leaves again, jujube for the beak, European ash for the background and wenge for the margin. The tools were coping saw, plane, sanding paper, nail and hammer.
Design Challenge
Defining geometrical patterns of cuts so that pieces of wood could save their original patterns, overcoming the thickness of cutline without using primer, and coming up with the idea of what I call Double-cut at the time of sanding to prevent the destruction of sub-patterns and sub-textures and save the main image are the parts of this work that ended up being its challenges.
Project Duration
This work was created, in Tehran, started and finished in 2010, and to find appropriate woods they were provided from different places. It took 6 months to accomplish the project as it turned out to be time-consuming to find desired wood pieces.
Operation Flow
In this project-like work of art you can see a specific way of working with wood using the fewest pieces and mainly benefiting from the natural colour and also texture of the wood so you can build up a perfectly complete image, which actually cannot be repeated or copied as patterns in each piece are naturlly unique. Thus, it can be artistically used as a piece of decoration, specifically in wood-based decorated spaces on the wall or a shelf. As for the transformation, it could be carried in a box of the same size and as it deos not weigh that much or take up much space, it does not matter a special transport.
Research
Naqshbandi is a new method or attitude which is used to create this piece and aims to benefit from connecting lines, expanding textures from one piece to another, and deciding upon the true light shade, not just the colour contrast and various tonalities as it is usual in other works of marquetry. It requires the artist to make a full-hearted attempt to harmonize themselves with the nature of wood as much as possible, and help them grow a clear perception of their work and gain a direct inspiration from natural fortuities given by wood. So, the whole thing will finally sound the art of nature in the eye of beholder.
Inspiration
Natural wood structure, consisting of a variety of colours, illusory lines, special texture and darkened and bright spots with special makeup during the growth of the tree, can broaden any individuals' horizon in many impossible to imagine ways. The cutting angle of the wood makes these motifs look even more varied on the surface of a piece, cut from the main wood. With this discovery of what the cutting angle leads to what l am thinking of, l came up with this idea that I would find a base for this to control the patterns, lines and colors of the wood to create an originally incredible image based on the nature of wood and not manual changes.
