About this artwork
The work "Nummulit" reflects my fascination with the elliptically shaped fossilized single-cell organisms that I found in quarries as a child. An ancient oak block was hollowed out with a chainsaw and carving chisel. The surface lines were laid out like spiral wedges. Holes are made at regular intervals to highlight the thin-walled hollow body. The work enriches rooms both as a wall object and when placed on a pedestal or hanging freely.

Olli Marschall works primarily with wood as a medium, occasionally combining metal and resin, and has a rich background in painting and sculpture. His technique is characterized by abstract, intuitive, and carefully planned processes, using tools such as chainsaws with virtuosity and drawing skills. His sculptures combine raw traces of work with harmonious structures and an innovative use of leftover materials. Marschall's works exude lightness, carelessness, and a childlike wonder, inviting the viewer to curious discovery on multiple levels.
