Maison Bodega creative director Liz Gardner is interested in the ways the built environment becomes a physical record of time; how material accumulates memory, and how form can hold traces of decay, growth, erosion, and renewal. In commissioning this series of monolithic, wood sculptures from Three Circle Shop, she was drawn to the reciprocal relationship the works cultivate with the natural world: their willingness to let raw material lead, to allow weathering, wear, and history shape the final outcome.
The capsule, entitled Time Is the Feeling of Being Made, is conceived not through fixed concepts but through a process of attunement; an intuitive collaboration between maker, material, and the forces that have acted upon it long before it enters the studio. Each sculpture becomes a marker of that continuum, a distilled moment in the ongoing life of the wood.
The three works in the series—I, II, and III—serve as reference points for made-to-order commissions. The approach across all pieces is reductive: forms are carved through observation and in direct response to the material. Each sculpture is shaped from reclaimed wood in the Minneapolis studio and stands as an individual record of time.
Three Circle Shop’s process is shaped by a commitment to working with found material and to following instinct over concept. Co-founder Tyler Hoffart gravitates toward wood that has been overlooked or discarded—material shaped by weather, organisms, and time—and uses these conditions as the starting point for form. His process is intuitive, guided by feeling rather than explanation, producing abstract, creature-like monoliths that chart the moments and impressions embedded in each piece.
Time Is the Feeling of Being Made is presented exclusively in Maison Bodega, Minneapolis.
