Resilient Grace Wood Sculpture

 Elegant wood sculpture merging traditional turning techniques with contemporary form and intricate handcrafted detail

Artwork Description

about this wood sculpture

This sculpture is crafted from Keikam burl and walnut wood. The tall, slender base was carefully designed to elevate the vessel with a sense of grandeur. Its delicate structure enhances the overall elegance and gives the piece a vertical emphasis.

The vessel’s wood had natural flaws, requiring careful restoration during the carving process. These imperfections were mended with precision to avoid breakage during turning. The result is a seamless blend of strength, beauty, and craftsmanship.

The concept evolved intuitively as the artist worked, guided by the wood’s form and behavior. This piece reflects both the vulnerability and resilience found in nature. It stands with quiet strength, inviting both contemplation and admiration.
