This exhibition catalogue presents outstanding works of art by 86 international woodturners from the contemporary wood art movement. With lavish illustrations it provides a visual survey of the forms, materials, and techniques used by these leading artists who, over the past 35 years, have broken the bounds of traditional forms. Each chapter shares insights from an artist on his or her unique relationship to a time-honored material. The vessels and sculptural forms radiate with their creators’ ability and vision to turn simple wood into audacious works of art.
