Sculptor George W. Hart creates geometric forms in wood; remarkable is just one word for it.

"My work deals with patterns and relationships derived from classical ideals of balance and symmetry, " Hart writes at his website. "Mathematical yet organic, these abstract forms invite the viewer to partake of the geometric aesthetic. … Classical forms are pushed in new directions, so viewers can take pleasure in their Platonic beauty yet recognize how they are updated for our complex high-tech times."

Pictured here is Roads Untaken, made of 902 individual pieces of wood.
