Parn Aniwat

Bangkok born, Texas-based artist Parn Aniwat (Wood You Mind) creates whimsical toys from chunks of timber. Believing that simplicity reaches people more directly and helps communicate with the viewer, his sculptured characters are direct and honest, spreading joy, contentment and happy imperfection. Parn uses traditional tools such as a small hatchet and chisel knife, slowly but surely unearthing every character’s distinct characteristics.
