Gehard Demetz constructs figures from small blocks of wood combining finely polished areas of soft features against the rough areas of combined wood blocks and freshly chiseled sections. The figures, always children, are always in the process of some form of restraint upon themselves as an individual. They become "bodies" and not a singular person in any respect. However, they are presented to us with such skill, if you ponder into only they're faces it is easy to forget they are simple blocks of wood.
