Jessica Drenk - Pencil Sculptures

Using one of the most manufactured and reproduced artistic materials, American artist Jessica Drenk creates sculptures looking to imitate forms found in the natural world. The pieces below are sculpted through gluing a mass of pencils together then using a belt sander to create organic shapes, textures and patterns.

"Manufactured goods appear as natural objects, something functional becomes decorative, a simple material is made complex, and the commonplace becomes unique".
