Appletree
This time I don’t have too many words to tell but pictures to show instead. I just have to share my newest work, where, as I think, I mastered best to combine the beauty of nature and art. This work gives me the very strong feeling there is another much bigger artist who made it and I just had the task to make it appear. I tried to preserve as much of the beauty of wood and the transformation of decay and have less figurines hidden inside. I hope you can feel some of my happiness about the finished work.
Some words to explain: This Nativity is carved from an hollow apple tree (which was cut down anyway). I cut three arcs out of it and each arc into two slices. Then I cut and carved the figurines out of the arcs which can be taken out during Christmas time and return home during the year.
