How Do Spillways Work?

Rebuilding the Oroville Dam Spillways

What is a spillway and how does it work?

Nuge is a sculptor who works with wood in unconventional ways, creating objects that feel unfamiliar yet carefully constructed. Rather than shaping wood into expected forms, he pushes the material into unusual structures that balance precision, experimentation, and raw presence. Each piece explores form, tension, and texture — revealing how far a traditional material can be taken when treated as a medium for sculptural ideas rather than function.
