Furrow and untitled cedar sculpture
Ben Butler, Sculptures & Installations at Zg Gallery, Chicago. “The spirit of science, of discovery and illumination, is central to Ben Butler’s            art. Ultimately, everything made is first found.  Yet, for both art            and science, successful work must allow others not to simply            rediscover what you have discovered, but to make, through the work,            their own discoveries. The work then remains alive. “
