| Description: | John Buck is known for large sculptural wood carvings relating to the technique of woodblock printmaking. Rich images, icons, symbols and motifs reference Buck's natural and social worlds. "My work is inspired by contemporary issues as well as primitive and folk art of many cultures. Wood carving and assemblages are found in practically all cultures and I find the connection inspiring," the artist explains. This piece, completed during a recent residency at Pilchuck Glass School, was inspired by elemental science experiments where root systems are grown from seeds suspended by toothpicks in a jar of water. |
