This thing I made for my sister who moved in a new house recently. It has not it’s name yet. Probably the new owner will thing up something. I’m calling it abstract sculpture no. 10. Somebody sees a flames in it. Somebody prying hands and somebody something copletely different.
It’s made from apricot wood, base from walnut. It’s about 50 cm high, sanded to 600, cover oil and
beeswax.
For this project I created a new photostudio (not luxurious one) and made animeted pictures.
Thanks for watching.

Nice photos, and very cool sculpture. Kinda look like stag horns. Beautiful wood and you want to reach out and touch them. That’s what makes a good sculpture, is what I was taught.

I think you should call it “the embrace.” Rather than stationary stag horns, I see the two separate entities embrace as you move aroung the scupture. I like it. :) Or maybe the dance since they move around each other apart then together- but never really embracing- sort of like those French dances in colonial times.

How about “reaching” ?

Really good form – “sinuous” is a good word. I really like the non-glossy finish, which makes the most of light and shadow.
