A visual artist has found life and beauty in a very unexpected place: wood grains.
Keith Skretch, an artist who specializes in video design installations, posted his project “Waves of Grain” on Vimeo in November. The clip, which is just too mesmerizing not to share, shows the excitement hidden deep within layers of wood.
“To create this strata-cut animation, I planed down a block of wood one layer at a time, photographing it at each pass,” Skretch wrote in the video’s description. “The painstaking process revealed a hidden life and motion in the seemingly static grain of wood, even as the wood itself was reduced to a mound of sawdust.”
According to his bio on his website, Skretch usually designs video for installations and live performances around the world. "Waves of Grain" became an official selection at several film festivals.
