Open Leaves

Artist: Doug Drury - Strathmore Alberta

Artist’s Statement: This piece is a continuation of experimentation in using sacrificial wood to create a form whereby air becomes a medium in the overall piece. The leaves were formed to mimic leaves of a plant reaching for the sky while the overall form retains its shape as a flower vase. The woods chosen simulate leaf variegation often seen in tropical plants.
