Hugo Franca will be carving stumps and logs on Spanish Banks for next two weeks
The wood speaks and Hugo Franca listens.
The Brazilian designer and artist was doing a lot of listening to a 4,100-kg Douglas fir stump at Spanish Banks Friday morning. Weathered grey, the stump had a massive root that cascaded on the sand to one side.
