In the lumberyards where Peter Krasnow found the material for his sculptures, castoff pieces of wood often caught his eye that were too small for his full-scale works, yet whose shapes, colors, and grains appealed to him. To make use of these pieces, he developed what he called “demountable” sculptures, consisting of separate parts joined together with precisely fitted, hand-carved grooves. Krasnow stressed that these demountables were aggregates consisting of individual sculptural components; he stated too that the parts were not interchangeable: “Each functions in a fixed orbit, so that the basic concept of the original composition is never lost.”
