Tapered cylinder of wood wrapped in birch bark on the dangling half.
Context
These sculptures come from a period where I was still carving in the round, yet everything was hung /mounted on the wall. Certainly the body was a reference and indeed appendages hands arms legs became formal points of departure, but equally i explored materials such as rubber or birch bark (sourced from fallen trees from canoe and camping trips to the UP in Michigan).
