Foreshortened Spaces uses pieces of found wood to create a 3D looking design, but are actually flat. They are so stunning and I’m so interested to see what these would look like in person. I can’t believe that the tapes featured above lay flat and could hang on a wall. Here is a snippet from his interview with diskurs disko on his process:

I collect old doors and stuff. Old painted wood that I find in the street. I take it apart and skin it to obtain a 3mm thick veneer with the old paint layers still intact. I construct bas-reliefs that I cover with these veneers much like a constructed mosaic. I do not paint them!
