A fun experiment with wood. I have been working on my version of Venus of Willendorf. I have always been fascinated with these first female sculptures. The original Venus was found in Willendorf Austria in 1908, and is one of many found. The wood is an old piece from the Port Office in Qld. Not sure what timber it is. It had nail holes all the way through. The piece of timber was given to me. It was just lovely to take the time to sit and carve. When I do this slow meditative process I cant think of anything else which is wonderful. I have finished it off with some wax.
I am currently doing a course called Make Exceptional Art by Amy Kennedy. I have just started and really loving it. I have the opportunity to connect with other women artists which is so uplifting, as I usually work on my own at home. I am hoping to learn, grow and take my work to the next level.
