Claude
Tayag’s
latest ouvre
in wood
Stations of
the Cross, a
one-of-a-kind
series, was
exhibited at
the Glass
Lane, third
floor of
Ayala Museum
from 15
March until
16 May
2010.
In this
series,Tayag
portrays
each
dramatic
encounter in
the Passion
of Jesus
Christ
through
single
crossed
wooden poles
to suggest
the
human figure. By depicting
the scenes
through
elemental
abstractions,
by
using bare
and faceless
polished
kamagong and
supa
wood, Tayag offers
a sublime
experience
to viewers.
The posture
and gesture
of each
figure
capture in
abstraction
the
essential
emotions in
each
encounter.
Through
faceless and
elemental
abstractions,
Tayag
reaches into
the
innermost
spaces of
mind and
soul. The
Ang Kiukok-inspired
crown of
thorns
are of
sterling
silver
executed by
Silverworks.
Since 1990,
he has been
venturing
into
functional
and
sculptural
wood
pieces.
Tayag's
exploration
with wood
has allowed
him to
supersede
the
limitations
of an
essentially
rigid
material,
achieving
limitless
volume and
sensuous
plasticity
with his
wave and
curvilinear
series.
Material:
Kamagong and
Supa wood;
sterling
silver
crowns.
Dimensions:
average
length 40.0
cm; average
diameter 4.0
cm.
