Ambrosia Fibonacci Shell

This wall sculpture is a flowing, ribbon-like form carved from spalted ambrosia maple, featuring a series of looping curves that rise and fold back on themselves. The continuous band undulates horizontally, creating three prominent arches with oval openings that pierce through the form. These openings allow light to pass through, casting soft shadows on the wall behind and emphasizing the sculpture’s sense of movement and depth.
The warm, natural grain of the wood—marked by spalting patterns and ambrosia lines—adds visual texture and highlights the material’s natural character. A darkened edge traces the outer contour of the ribbon, accentuating its sinuous silhouette and giving the piece a crisp outline against the wall.
Overall, the sculpture evokes a sense of fluid motion, as if a strip of wood has been gently carved twisted and lifted into rhythmic waves, balancing elegance, craftsmanship, and organic beauty.

This sculpture is a wall-mounted relief carved from a single piece of Maple. It has an organic, flowing composition: deep, curved grooves radiate outward from a small circular opening near the center, creating a swirling, vortex-like effect.

The carving emphasizes the natural grain of the wood, with alternating light and dark tones that accentuate the sense of motion and depth. The surface is faceted and textured, showing deliberate tool marks that catch the light and enhance the three-dimensional quality. The outer edges are irregular rather than perfectly straight, reinforcing a natural, handcrafted feel.

Overall, the piece feels dynamic and meditative at the same time—suggesting movement, energy, or a galaxy-like spiral, while also highlighting the inherent beauty and structure of the wood itself. Carved from a beautiful piece of Red Maple with extra sapwood. Textured and sandblasted surface, finished with lacquer & Danish Oil. Dims: 14″ H x 32” W x 2″D.
