Unique wall sculpture in deep blue.
Turned on the lathe. A voluptuous form in which the focus is pulled into the centred void (I'd like to think the focus goes into the unknown).
This particular piece comes from a tree that I harvested in Zeeland with a friend. After we felled the tree the trunk laid on the side of the pond for more than a year before I took it to the studio and started the rough work. After a rough blank was made it sat on a studio shelf to dry for another year or so. Now it finally has its form, silently.
It is finished with multiple layers of thin blue paint, applied whilst the piece was slowly turning on the lathe. The spalting lines in the wood beneath the painted surface is slightly visible but only when inspected closely.
Pictures with mug and wall are to show the scale. Hope that helps.
Depending on the angle of view and the lighting conditions the piece looks either very dark or can light up quite vividly. The centre is a void, this is often perceived as black but is actually a hole in the centre of the object through which the wall can be visible.
Wall Sculpture, blue, maple

Easy to hang, simply on a screw in the wall.
Wood is a wonderful and natural material. It will always change colour over time slightly. Do not place an object in a spot where it will be in direct sunlight, this can result in an unbalanced or too much colour change in the wood.
Can be cleaned with a dry or slightly moist cloth
