Description |
Artist: This maple burl which depicts the COVID 19 virus was discovered when I put it on my lath to turn a bowl, and accidently knocked off a piece of the bark. When I saw what was displayed underneath I was amazed at how similar the likeness was to the virus molecule I had seen on TV. I spent several hours removing all the bark and was rewarded by this beauty. To preserve the likeness of the virus, I hollowed the burl out and did not make the bowl I had originally planned. |
