Farm League presents an original film directed by Kellen Keene on woodcarver and artist Aleph Geddis. Carved over a span of four months out of his studio in Orcas Island, WA, Kellen followed Aleph's process building an 18 foot western Red Cedar totem by hand. His work stands as a modern day homage to an art form rarely seen, with an attention to detail often overlooked in an age of immediacy. Click here for more of Aleph's work: http://www.alephgeddis.com
Aleph Geddis, sculptor and artist based in Orcas Island, talks about his work, geometry and woodcarving. By Renata Chebel.
Amongst the multiple meandering roads of Kerobokan, Bali, in a workshop within a warehouse, that you would never find unless shown, Aleph is chipping away at some incredible sculptures. Obscure shapes within shapes. Forms that require the most focused mind. He has an upcoming show in Seattle that feature all the pieces in the video. An experience not to be missed. www.alephgeddis.com/ Music: Level Vibes - The Guadeloup Filming & Edit Andy Elliott www.presbanproductions.com
