11: Pena Mosteiro- Wound Series 38: Cut 5 (Damaged sycamore) Text copied from http://www.mapfodder.com/sculptureTrail.pdf Mosteiro is a member of Portugal's "Arte Scalpele" movement, whose members inflict careful damage on plants and animals at early stages of their development: the resulting pieces, although initially planned and delineated, become less predictable as the organism matures. In this case, a small cut made in a sycamore sapling has grown to become the disturbing and almost threatening presence we see today - yet in counterpoint its soft hues and cu risingly tender.
