Picking This Apart
One tooth pick is nothing but hundreds of thousands combined and it becomes a marvelous piece of art. That’s because of a special characteristic we instinctually see - patterns. Wisteria was used to make this massive wood sculpture called Lune Blanche which means white moon. All those toothpicks… my teeth and gums are actually scared right now.

Great looking although it sort of reminds me of a banana (or in the last picture- a banana hammock lol)
Are these actually toothpicks, or just long strips of wood?
Looks very uncomfortable for someone my size (6 ft).
Looks very beautiful
I like it
i would love a close up shop to show the ‘toothpicks’ and how they are held together.. i guess i am a skeptic? i would love to see a nice macro shot!
Lovely piece regardless of if it is really made of toothpicks or not. Tho, I would still like to see the macro shot of the toothpicks
I may have to feature this piece on my blog, can you point me to where the artists’ website is? I did a Google search and see lots of work but no site for the artist. Thanks!
