Bill Luce - "Vertical" made from Douglas fir, turned and sandcarved, measuring 10-1/2 inches tall x 7 inches wide. "This skeleton vessel - from my Bones of the Tree series - is a study of the interaction of simple form and the visual elements provided by the wood. A single piece of wood, all but two diagonal bands of flesh have been removed to allow the "bones" of the vessel to contribute more fully to the three dimensionality of the piece. The stark yet strongly organic textures of the ribs interplay with the negative space between, further enhancing the piece's command of its space."
