Originally created for Suga’s first overseas solo exhibition in Paris at Galerie Baudouin
Lebon in 1982, this installation explores the relationship between natural branches and
industrially cut lumber.

The positioning of the heavy wooden beams is determined by the irregular angles of the
branches placed beneath or between them. Rather than imposing a fixed composition, Suga
allows the natural forms to dictate the structure of the work. The branches act as points of
support and tension, guiding the placement of the larger elements and creating a balance
that emerges from the materials themselves.

Because the work depends on the specific branches used during installation, it can be
remade multiple times while always remaining slightly different. Each iteration involves a
negotiation between the artist’s intentions and the unpredictable characteristics of the
materials. The natural variations in the branches inevitably influence how the logs settle
and align, making the final configuration partially contingent on factors beyond complete
control.
