This is a small face carving I completed a few weeks back based on an old sketch of that felonious felines alter ego; Selina Kyle. More of an exercise in depth perception than anything else, the problem often being that the flawless blank of timber you'd like to use doesn't have the perfect amount of depth or thickness.
This of course tends to flatten the features of your subject and maintaining the illusion of depth, particularly in something as familiar as a face, becomes a real challenge.
Nice to see a piece of maple become something other than a window box or skirting board.
Miss Kyle has already found a home and is not for sale.
Dimensions 250mm H x 200mm W x 50mm D
