Description:

Large, free-formed sculptural burl with so many visual interpretations - oceanic, fossil-like, anatomical, a fragment of earth.

A burl is a growth on a tree which has grown in an unusual manner; generally, as a round outgrowth on a tree. The artist removes the burl, and puts it through many steps of carving and finishing that can take up to two years. The artist merges form and function, always highlighting the natural beauty of the wood.
