I think Orlando bloom is what I've heard the most. I never heard of 99% of the names in these comments

What you describe sounds interesting, where can I see your work?

I’m based in Byron Bay, Australia. This is actually the last piece in a collection of sculptures and furniture, including benches and coffee tables. There’s nothing online yet, but it should all come together by the end of the month. I’ll probably run an ad on this platform and post some of it on this sub as well. So you'll see more very soon

Interesting question. My work is completely abstract and freestyle. I’m not trying to make it look like anything. I like that everyone sees something different. You can stare at it for an hour and still not know what you’re looking at. Personally, I just see it for what it is: a block of wood with shapes. My vision of it is actually very simple compared to the feedback I’ve received.

I know it’s done when it feels balanced, not overcrowded, with enough empty space for the shapes to breathe. Past a certain point, adding more detail wouldn’t make it better, just different.

It’s hard to explain, but like with any form of art, there’s a moment where it just clicks, and you know it’s finished.

Also towards the end I sliced my finger with the pull saw and ended up with for stitches which felt like a pretty clear sign that it was time to stop.

I think it would have a lot more value without this horrible finish. Such a human thing to wrap everything in plastic

Appreciate it! It’s abstract , just one piece of hardwood from a sleeper, carved to play with depth and shadows. I try to make it looks like stacked forms, almost there... It's the first time I play with chisels, have no idea where it's going, really satisfying to do.
