The Citizen, 2013-07-18, Page 17THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, JULY 18, 2013. PAGE 17. Dramatic wood furniture exhibit opens July 19Wayne Muma is a Stratford areafurniture maker who wants hishandmade wooden furniture to look
like, well, wood. The thick boards
emphasize the extraordinary grain of
the hardwood and retain the original
profile of the log. The pieces at first
seem to have a rough appearance,
but have actually been hand-finished
with traditional tools to a perfectly
smooth, almost mirror-like surface,
which dramatically increases the
clarity of colours and textures found
in the wood. The artist obviouslyrespects nature and loves his work.
Muma has spent many years
studying trees, natural forms and
working with wood. Enthusiasm and
passion for the local hardwoods of
Ontario are what drive his creative
engine. He has a contagious
enthusiasm for wood and its natural
environment and his clear “green
vision” means that woods are
sustainably harvested and salvaged
locally. Trees are sometimes windfallen or urban salvaged. Thesewoods are purchased green and often
in the log, milled and air dried at
home. Finishes are natural organic
materials which don’t adversely
affect the home environment. He
sees, hidden within each tree, a
wealth of textures, colours and
lines. These are the characteristics
that inspire his design process.
Starting on July 19, The Blyth
Festival Art Gallery is presenting
Indwelling, an exhibition of WayneMuma’s unique wood furnituredesigns. The show can be viewed in
the Bainton Gallery of the Blyth
Memorial Hall until Aug. 13,
Mondays to Saturdays from 9 a.m.
to 9 p.m. The exhibition is sponsored
by Maarten Bokhout and Helena
McShane and curated by Greg
Sherwood. The public is invited to
meet the artist at the opening
reception on Friday, July 19 at 6
p.m.
