Abstract

This research uses a lot of tree trunks to build an abstract art studio sculpture of a four-legged animal. Sketched, drawn, and scaled animal trait models represented human vegetation management at a highway and byway road site. Use the right tool and joiner wooden technique with screws and nails in the studio. The 'running forest' series was created after finishing and cleaning, using wood stain to preserve the wood and enamel paint for artistic purposes before the artist's impression technique stimulated or relocated the sculpture to its real location. This symbolic project politely communicated with the community through wooden sculpture-based environmental art.
