Charles Ray writes: -Ten years ago, while driving up the central coast of California, I spotted a fallen tree in a meadow just off the highway. I was instantly drawn to it... [and] was inspired to make a sculpture.- In Log, Ray describes the making of this sculpture, a work that saw him collaborate with Japanese master woodworker Yuboku Mukoyoshi in an effort to capture the life of wood, and to make an object that would -breathe life into the world that surrounds it.- Ray's sculpture is now on view at the Art Institute of Chicago.
