Diving Into the Delicately Detailed Woodwork of @mcnabbstudio

To see more of James’ works and the studio life with his wife Stephanie and the two shop dogs Buster and Riley, follow @mcnabbstudio

“I could talk for days about wood,” admits Philadelphia artist James McNabb (@mcnabbstudio). “Its rich history. The amazing varieties of colors, patterns and textures that nature has created in it.”

Inspired by his father, a skilled carpenter, James took his first woodworking class in high school. “At that time, I struggled with the typical textbook/chalkboard style classroom dynamic, and felt more comfortable in a setting with hands-on learning techniques,” he remembers. Now, with his own studio and over a decade of experience in making wooden objects, James, who’s 30, creates delicately detailed sculptures of urban landscapes. “Like a painter uses a paintbrush, I work primarily on a band saw to produce abstracted architectural forms,” he says, adding, “The work is designed to be engaging from a distance, and like a city skyline from afar, reveal layers of patterns and textures as the journey gets closer to the object.”

The Ark and the Anchor (a series of translations between narrative and models begins with an image of the surface of Mars. This site generates a discourse on the communicative possibilities of architecture as a tectonic language. The narrative speaks of an architecture that is built on Earth and delivered to Mars, in which one moment of impact transforms an ideal geometry into an idiosyncratic form. Fragmented and negotiating forces, the architecture responds by changing itself and the landscape)
