'Enrapture,' a Mixed Media Sculpture by Nathan Lee

African American artist Nathan Lee sculpture 'Enrapture,' is a biomorphic iridescent form created from painted paper and wood. The graceful human form emerges from the wood roots and reaches gently toward the sky. The smooth, iridescent form contrasts with the gnarly wood form to create an intriguing object asking the viewer to consider the intertwined consecutiveness between man and the earth.
