About the Item
Jim Colclough learned to use traditional Ozark Mountain woodworking tools as a child in his father's blacksmith shop. When he was sixty-two (after his wife had died, and he had retired), Colclough began to carve seriously, creating hundreds of figures from redwood logs he found washed up on the beach near his home in northern California. Before World War II, Colclough worked with carnival companies building and operating rides and attractions. Although he is best known for carvings that reflect the humor and clever kinetic movement of these animated scenes and figures, several of his works, such as this Crucifixion, depict serious religious subjects. Colclough characterized his shifts between humorous and religious subjects as unconscious. He stubbornly refused to carve anything suggested by others and his methods were sometimes unorthodox. "To get the proper position of Christ hanging limp on the cross," he told a neighbor, "I drove two big spikes in the wall and I backed up to the wall—grasped a spike in each hand and then I'd go limp to get the correct pose. … I didn't have anything to go by for the face,—so I carved the face according to my own interpretation."
The bottom of the base is signed NO. 259 "Suh” Jim Colclough Original.
