As we all know, wood continually changes,
warping and cracking. Siegfried Schreiber has succeeded in “relaxing”
the tensions in the wood, and ours along with them. His deep understanding
of the material manifests itself in his objects: regardless of size,
whether they are large and massive or delicate and translucent –
none of them ever warps or cracks.
Schreiber’s art to me is very physical, it is a wisdom that
has gathered within in his body. He himself says: “My hands
are guided by intuition.” The creation of an object becomes
an act of meditation. He relies on his intuition, on the wood and
his tools to guide him, and does the right thing, at the right time.
These sensual wood turnings succeed in achieving something very special:
they appeal to all our senses simultaneously, affording us a deeply
gratifiying experience.
