Iwamoto decided to make his piece from red oak that is peeled by cutting the panel’s edge and removing the surface by hand. Rather intriguingly he left it up to the manufacturer, Evostyle, to decide how much to take off. ‘The shape of the broken layers are random and therefore the appearance of the work will change depending on the manufacturer,’ he says. ‘I took a different approach, I was keen that the manufacturer should decide how to finish the work, rather than the traditional making method based on a drawing.’
