Heart Wall, the largest work and also the title piece of the show, was a 24-foot-wide bilaterally symmetrical installation of seven groups of wooden vertical elements standing or leaning against the gallery's longest wall. There were thick boards with rectangular recesses that form a simple ladder in relief, slabs carved into leaf or shield shapes, and others painted or carved with spirals or handprints. On two panels, the cropped and inverted crotch of a real tree recalled Brancusi's Torso of a Young Man (1924). At the center of Heart Wall, two slender tree trunks, painted a brilliant red, twined together anthropomorphically. Most of the parts have an overall pattern of feathery gouge marks that activate the surface and demonstrate the soft receptiveness of the wood. As usual, Azara coats the raw material with pigment and/or metallic leaf so that its natural grain and color are concealed. The result is a certain tension-as if the wood wants to burst out of this jacket-that heightens the expressionism of the carving and coloring.
