Avian Art
One of my other passions in life at the present is birding, and bird photography. I really enjoy being in the outdoors seeking the more elusive birds and trying to capture them in pictures. So it was really an easy step to try to capture some of the avian beauty in my turned work. These pieces really rely heavily on carving, and more specifically bas relief carving. Challenges here are trying to give the sense of depth of a scene with very little real depth. This series has me wrapped up in it, at least for now. I fully intend on continuing my exploration of the maths and sciences as well and expect I’ll do more with it in the future.
