"Life Forms"
Oak wood turned, reconstructed,
and painted

These pieces were created from a mental image of primitive life -- perhaps rising from the sea. The pieces are constructed from turned segments of oak wood that are ebonized and then painted with metalized acrylics and chemical acids that create instant patinas. I was pleasantly surprised that the strong grain patterns of the oak wood show through and add to the organic character of the forms.
