Hugh Townley Estate Holdings

Hugh Townley’s inventive and individual wit was never far from the surface in his work in wood relief and sculpture. Townley’s intricate assemblages of band saw-cut shapes—reliefs and chains and boxes—rendered in a variety of common and rare woods, such as mahogany, obiche, oak and walnut—all employ the recurring, imaginative, and often whimsical iconography of forms from nature that signify his work.

The grain of the wood, the marks left by the saw, and other natural imperfections inform the design, and in combination, lend themselves readily to the exploration and interpretation that is always evident in his work.
