Striking, contemporary sculpture composed of natural basalt gracefully embraced in hand-forged steel by Master Blacksmith, Douglas Wilson (Little Deer Isle, Maine). *Options differentiated by size - please note, in reflection of the identical time and craftsmanship dedicated to creating each piece, all prices are the same. New, as made condition. Guaranteed authentic.
"Although much of the work I design and produce is contemporary in design, most all of what I make is deeply rooted in traditional techniques. My work is based on working with fire, hammer and anvil; ancient processes of hot forging iron and steel. Thus, the work is invested with strong visual character of joinery details and surface character not possible to produce by any other methods.
Inspiration comes to me from many sources. Careful observation and study of the natural environment informs me. The nature of the materials, hot iron and steel, and its responses to being worked certainly are manifest." (Douglas Wilson)
