- For the internationally renowned artist and wood turner Ernst Gamperl, the dialogue with the exceptionally vital material of wood is a source of creative inspiration. He works it with a technique bordering on magic and embraces its natural drying-out process in the design of his pieces, giving rise to impressive, powerful forms. Ernst Gamperls most extensive work in wood to date was created from a 230-year-old oak tree uprooted by a hurricane. In an ongoing process lasting ten years the Lebensbaum (Tree of Life) project he transformed this mighty tree into a unique ensemble of ninety-seven differently formed vessels and objects, one of which was awarded the renowned LOEWE Craft Prize in 2017. The publication is an impressive documentation of the artisanalartistic work process as well as the Lebensbaum project in its entirety.
