This sculpture is an abstract, ribbon-like form carved from a single piece of Black Walnut with warm brown tones and visible grain. It undulates horizontally in a smooth, continuous wave, rising and dipping in a rhythmic sequence of hollowed curves. Each vertical rise opens like a shallow vessel or shell, revealing the layered growth rings of the wood, which emphasize the sculpture’s organic origin.
The edges are sharply defined and darkened, creating a strong outline that contrasts with the lighter interior surfaces. This crisp border accentuates the flowing silhouette and gives the piece a graphic, almost calligraphic quality. Although the form is dynamic and fluid—suggesting movement, sound waves, or a rolling landscape—it maintains a sense of balance and calm through its symmetry and consistent curvature.
Overall, the sculpture blends natural material with refined craftsmanship, transforming solid wood into something that feels light, elastic, and in motion, inviting viewers to walk along its length and experience the changing shapes from different angles.
This form was sculpted from a beautiful piece of Black Walnut. The shape was inspired by ribbon candy. Sanded carefully, bleached, then finished with shellac and satin wax. This wall sculpture can be mounted horizontal or vertical.
