Have you ever had this feeling, this fleeting sensation when wandering in the woods all alone in fragile autumn silence, or when darkness is gradually falling down and sounds dying away….that now you look up to see in front of you a pair of eyes looking intently right at you, ears alert, the front paw trembling expectantly raised in the air…and the same suddenly the grey image is fading away, blending and merging with the landscape.
This carving is devoted to this grey beholder of the forest, the Wolf.
Было ли у вас когда-нибудь такое чувство, такое мимолетное ощущение, когда вы бродите в одиночестве по лесу, в хрупкой осенней тишине, или когда постепенно сгущается тьма, и звуки замирают - вы поднимаете глаза и видите перед собой пару глаз, пристально смотрящих прямо на вас, уши настороже, передняя лапа, дрожа, выжидательно поднята. И так же внезапно этот серый образ расплывается, сливаясь с пейзажем.
This composition was made applying the technique of relief carving and cut carving. The dimentional effect is achieved thanks to the figures of the animals which are made of wood as separate sculptures.
This sculpture is carved of walrus tusk and placed on a stand made of blackwood. The scene represents a wild boar and dogs, below is carved an old trunk with a small martin hiding in it from all the turmoil around. The size is 8 cm height and 12 cm length.
