    “Every piece of wood is my co-creator.

     

    I have used wood in various combinations. I would take a solid piece of wood and remove what was unnecessary, or join multiple fragments together, much like shipbuilders join the planks of a ship’s hull – using frames, accounting for the physical properties of the various types of wood, and figuring out the weight distribution system, tension, and pressure.”

  • The method of joining – constructing the form using either woodworking or carpentry techniques – has over time become fundamental in Pchelin’s art. The monochrome objects he calls Drifters epitomize his signature style today, and are the result of the advances Pchelin has made in this method.

    In maritime jargon, a “drifter” is a fishing boat or a sail, while everyday use refers to constantly moving from place to place. So it seems the association with shipbuilding is not random. The layered architecture of Pchelin’s Drifters, made from Oriental beech, recalls rock formations where millennia-old compressed strata are interspersed with wind-blown hollow erosions, while their silhouettes bring to mind primeval, long-extinct plants. One might equally justifiably see in these Drifters bizarre, disturbing, horror-film aliens that give rise to feelings of intense apprehension. In the eyes of their creator, however, these emotions define life itself.

  • When explaining the mythology behind his brainchild, Valery Pchelin refers to these Drifters as wandering travellers: “Everyone drifts along their path in life. We drift along, accepting some things, rejecting others, and from this our story is built.”

  • Born ten years ago on the idea level, today these Drifters, with their unlimited variation in shape, have grown into an independent class of object. Drifter-like pieces are perfectly capable of being scaled up in size, and in time will surely grow to monumental dimensions, capable of containing people within and allowing them to pass through.

  • Valery Pchelin likes to work while listening to minimalist music of the 20th century such as Philip Glass and Arvo Pärt, or to Benjamin Britten. He often listens to modern meditative Japanese music as well, interesting for its associative flow. He enjoys Glass’ tiers of sound, which mirror the wood – the repeating black phrases that comprise his Drifters.
