Artist Creates Unique Wood Sculptures Using An Ancient Woodworking Technique That He Saw In Visions
21Kviews
During an Ayahuasca ceremony, Chris Isner received clear instructions about an ancient woodworking technique that he now uses to record his and his client’s visions into unique wood sculptures. His work fascinates and everybody asks what materials he is using. It’s hard to believe it’s just wood but as a conscious human being Chris is not using any wood — but only reclaimed “guilt-free” wood.
Chris Isner loves his work and has already created some astonishing pieces that you can see in detail on his website. But his best work is commissioned pieces where the synergy of two minds can produce breath-taking results. His life was positively impacted by Ayahuasca and psychedelics. His work stands proof below.

looks like roots coming out or going in his mouth, oh a root canal! lol
Looks like a feather, or the movement of air (if we could see such a thing). I love it
I love this one. The face looks calm an at peace and the third eye wide awake, absorbing the world. It makes me want to know what secret he knows.
These are all so beautiful. Like an ayahuasca vision, they seem to be an embodiment of the life force within the wood. I can't stop thinking about them ❤️✌🏼
Would love to know the technique he used. Things like this should be passed on
Wouldn't many artists say that they have visions/insights/inspirations as catalysts to their work? Who are we, to judge artists' motives?
No one questions motives or inspirations here. However, to claim that an ancient technique (i.e. one that had been developed and known by a group of people before) was acquired by getting into trance...no, that is simply impossible. Either, the technique was re-invented (which might be possible as a kind of vision, as a spontaneous brainchild), or it was simply learned from sources and the vision-thingy is just about the artist's perference for psychoactive substances.
No, not a trance. Entheogenic visions are the basis for every religion in that they allow access to different realms, divine and otherwise. Would it surprise you to learn that little brown people in the jungle master heights and depths of knowledge that you don't even know exist, moreover that you can't know exist? And due to our woeful ignorance, they consider us to be the mindless savages.
Well said. Noticeably missing from his description: name or source of technique, any description (e.g. sand rubbing, carving w shells).
I would be honored to learn this technique of woodworking. I am a master woodworker and have shaped wood in pretty amazing and technical shapes but nothing like this!!!!
Pay for the teaching trip to Peru and you can come with me.
