The Acorn
In Norse and Celtic cultures, the smallest of the acorn was thought to embody the wholeness of life, fertility and imortality. Ancient Druids, who worshipped the Oak tree, believed that eating the acorn would gift them with the heavenly ability to see across time and into the future. Tradition holds that the bearer of an acorn wields an independent nature and possesses promises of fortune and prosperity in their destiny.
Sculptor Agelio Batle honors some of nature's most exquisite forms in this series of graphite objects. His reverence for organic shapes grew from formal studies in biology and art, but countless hours in the wilderness gave the artist an intimate understanding of nature's geometry. The objects in this series are a testament to that insight.
Batle sees these objects as sculpture, but they are also fully functional drawing tools. All of their surfaces can write!
