Wood Carving
10.25" x 26.5" x 1.5"
This piece is an exploration of wood as a medium and is also my first attempt at subtractive sculpture. This reductive process forced me to relinquish some of my control, slow down and pay attention. I could not force the material into submission. Instead, I had to listen and respond to the piece as I went. Because of this change of pace, the development of this piece felt less like a carving and more like the unearthing of something that had always been there.
