His work challenges conventional uses of media; in this case, wood. Padilla stretches our expectations by reworking pinewood to form a woven pattern, inspired by instructional diagrams for weaving patterns and knots. "Eight" belongs to a body of work made of dimensional lumber. The artist cuts his pinewood into small, angled segments, and then re-glues the pieces to articulate curves that are later sanded smooth. He states, "I am inspired in how designs can be simple and complex at the same time. I try to reflect this duality through form and technique."
