The Goddess of the Forest
The carving of the Goddess in a storm torn Oak Tree in 2006.
Seven years have passed, and the carving is cracked and blackened with time. This ageing can be a good artistic process, but in this case I decide to transform the sculpture by carefully carving pieces of Oak to fill the cracks, and remove some of the black staining. I anoint the Goddess with Tung Tree Oil, and she glows with a deep warm colour, renewed .
