‘Angel’ was inspired by an unknown artist’s etching I came across on Pinterest. The overall shape was guideline to me instilling my own interpretation and character. Carved from an Oak log and boy was I amazed at how beautiful Oak carves. No restriction to the grain direction. So soft to carve yet so structural. The Angel’s wings are quite an exaggerated feature in this relief to create greater movement and velocity to overall form. The hand is reaching back into the log of which she came.
