My teachers foolishly taught me how to use power tools at an amazing art program this summer, and I got really into 3D sculpture >:^D
If this looks a little jank, it's because I actually cut everything myself. As in, those circular wood pieces started out as huge plywood sheets, and I had to cut them into circles with a jigsaw. The chair legs started out as 2"x2"s, and I had to taper them with an oscillating saw.
I feel like I should clarify because people were confused: the man in the hat is a clay sculpture, not wood. I painted him with oil paint instead of glazing him to sort of imitate the texture of wood and fit him in with the rest of the piece.
I hope you like

Wood, ceramics, acrylics, oils, encaustics, and found objects. July 2014.
