I'MMORTAL #1
Picture
I'MMORTAL is derivative off of a series of wall mirrors I began creating in 2016 with the viewer placing their eyes into the skull and questioning AM I MORTAL OR AM I IMMORTAL?
Picture
Hand carved from a piece of poplar it was a fun challenge carving the angles to create crisp  geometric patterns that change as the viewer moves around the work.

At the time I planned on creating a series of decorative skulls like this but sadly have not had the time yet to revisit.

BIENVENIDO #5 (piece in process)
Picture
I am 10 months into hand carving this work out of one piece of Sapele. As I have described before woodcarving is a lot like boxing and this work has been a 15 round battle. 

I truly only thought it would take 4-6 weeks but when one spiral would be changed all would due how they were clustered.

Some of the influences on this work are
​-violin headstocks
-golden spiral
-embryo curl
-group of people interacting
​-gushing energy

-decorative ornamentation on suits of armor 

It is the 5th in the series of spiral mirrors meant to modernize the classic spiral used in traditional furniture.
