Currently these methods begin with areas of one layer of plywood or one piece of lumber. The flat material is angle-cut in a way resembling a contour map. Each piece becomes a template for the next, until the whole surface area is covered. The cut parts are rearranged or stacked vertically, (in original 2D- length and width position), becoming three-dimensional forms. Then glued, and often stained with pigment.
The images are those of nature and culture or their combination.
