Woodworm, no. 1

© Susan Dorothea White

Woodworm, no. 1 (designated 'no. 1' after carving second version) 1987
carved red siris
13 x 26 x 10 cm (0.4 kg (est.))
Missing/stolen in the Netherlands.
Artist's Statement:

I like the challenge of creating movement from a static block of wood and unlocking the pattern of the grain, which is particularly striking in Australian red siris. The woodworm is free-standing, so can be viewed from every angle. The form is tactile. Tension arises at the point where two parts just touch.
