THE LIVING DEAD
This piece is my first "Abstract Art" type carving in my Trees category.
I've had lots of fun experimenting with lines and forms while at the same time trying to incorporate items that the viewer could pick out as something they could see in the carving. Hopefully I've succeeded.
I carved this using Basswood. My thoughts as I went into this carving was that it was going to be a tree with lots of branches. As you can see it changed considerably as I got into the wood.
The final piece incorporates 5 shades of stain as well as 2 shades of Tung Oil Sealer.
Size: 8-1/2" High x 4-1/2" Wide x 4-1/2" Deep
