Stirrings

Year: 2011

Dimensions: 18"H x 18"W x 1.5"D

Materials: Bigleaf maple burl with inlaid mineral crystals, metal-acid dyes, and a musical instrument lacquer finish.

Comment: This is an unusual free-flowing piece where bark inclusions were replaced with clear crystals and radiant tendrils added. Dyeing and airbrushing accented the inlays. The inspiration is the internet "cloud" of interpersonal but often impersonal connectivity.
