Collapsing Spinnaker, can be commissioned. Sculpture

‘Collapsing Spinnaker’ forms part of my collection of stylised marine sculpture. It is hand carved, as all my sculptures are. The process of making a plywood sculpture is rather long, as there is a complex design process, and then I have to laminate many layers together, before I can start on the actual carving. These sculptures are not "bent" wood - they are carved from a solid "block" of plywood. As with all carving, there is no going back. Mistakes are permanent, and therefore every stroke of the tool must be carefully thought out. I love to sail (when I get the chance), and am always inspired by the many interesting and beautiful shapes formed by the sails in the wind. I have strived to encapsulate here, in a very solid medium, the totally flexible feeling of a sail. Plywood works well for these sculptures as the grain effect produced by the many layers of the wood enhances and emphasises the contours created. The sculpture shown here has been sold, but it can be commissioned. The price will depend on the size of the carving. Please feel free to contact me to discuss a commission.
