Lot # 110
Tania Radda - "Disentangling Inspiration", 2008,
Basswood, compressed cherry, acrylic, 3" × 27" × 9".
Using a turning gouge as inspiration, I created this fun piece. Since woodturners are always reinventing their tools and gadgets and claiming that they have the ultimate tool, I asked myself, What if the ultimate tool is not the tool itself, but the hand that holds the tool? If I were to create a turning gouge, this would be it. The handle represents me and the gouge represents how I refine the materials I use to achieve my goals when creating a piece.
