Potential

 

Potential was inspired by and started at Arrowmont School of Arts and Craft located in Gatlinburg, Tennessee during a one-week class with J. Paul Fennell.   Class was titled Embellishing Wood Vessels: Simple Tactile Designs to Elegant Narrative Expression.

Potential is my first work exploring multi-level relief carving with negative space on a hollow form woodturning.  When I look at this piece, I see endless possibilities that can cause me to lose many hours of sleep. It has opened the door to a new chapter in my woodturning art journey and I feel it has energized me.

In my 19 years of woodturning, Paul was one of the best instructors I've had.   

The piece was finished three weeks after returning home.
