Corset

This is an abstract, organic sculpture carved from ambrosia maple. It rises vertically in a fluid, twisting motion, made up of smooth, interlocking forms that feel almost like petals, leaves, or gently turning flames.

The surface is meticulously polished, allowing the natural wood grain to play a major role in the visual impact. Darker streaks, knots, and subtle imperfections in the grain create movement across the pale body, emphasizing the sculpture’s natural origin rather than hiding it. The curves fold in on themselves, creating negative spaces that give the piece a sense of breath and lightness despite its solid mass.

The overall form feels elegant and rhythmic, suggesting growth, balance, and upward motion—almost as if the sculpture is slowly unfolding or dancing. It’s mounted on a dark, simple base that contrasts with the light wood and grounds the otherwise airy, flowing shape.

The piece blends craftsmanship with abstraction, inviting viewers to interpret it as both a natural form and a refined, intentional work of art.

 The form is 30″ Tall x 15″ x 8″, 10 lbs with the base.
