Venus visits the Underworld

Dimensions: 74”x17”x 18”
Mango wood
Cast pigmented concrete

Venus began as a carving study of detailed lava flow imagery. At one point, I cut off all the characteristic carving down to the sleek, curvalicious form she now is. Venus took over two years in her making, and her final presence was created during the time when Planet Venus was not visible in the morning or evening sky. She was in transition.
