Artist/sculptor C. G. Simonds has dreamed up a suburb collection of highly-rendered drawings that fill LOGBOOK. Logs have seemed to have played an important role in his life, with deep connections to his father and grandfather's activities (see Simonds' introductory statement). But certainly, his ancestors couldn't have imagined the unusual logs C. G. has fashioned here--one pillar presents a vertical wooden boat stuck in its side, another has your everyday several-feet-long carved pair of scissors. There's a tiny house atop a shaft, with even tinier windows. Others just emit emotional responses, like some frightening spikes ("2 TRIPODS"), heads stacked high in a column ("LOGGERHEADS"). others simply exhibiting impossible configurations and titles to match ("CYLENDRIGALS" is a favorite). They represent original modernistic visions, but spark a past recognition that our lives were once inexplicably dependent on harvesting such log-lengths from ancient forests. In delivering the 50 pages of his surreal log sculptures, Mr. Simonds has managed to somehow re-focus the viewer, conjuring up a "time land forgot," or maybe it's the other way around (LOGBOOK can do that to a person). In any case, enjoy how these elegant drawings can shift your reality, so that the everyday term, "log-in," suddenly has a brand new kick.
