Stunning for their intricately woven caverns as much as their
perceived natural appearance, according to their sculptor Michael Kukla

and drilling out material – slate, marble or plywood – that changes our
perception of it. A Czech born New York resident his pieces illogically
interlock growth and decline and play off each other – the
different materials only arouse more curiosity for a process that seems
to have affected them all.
