Trio of Hand Carved Wood Sculpture, Tall Carved Poplar Totems
By Steve Turner
Located in Chicago, IL
These hand-carved poplar sculptures transforms from an open, geometric cage form at the bottom to a serpent head at the top. Steve Turner slowly works the wood, revealing natural elements, rings and knots present in the wood. These modern totems evokes the work of Constantin Brancusi and Henry Moore in its modern and organic nature. Each of these three sculptures stands atop a solid steel custom base thus the width dimension can vary depending on how far apart each is spaced.
