Hummingbird Moonface

The Moonface Series is inspired by the serene face that I see shining on the surface of our luminous full moon. From ancient times people have understood the cycles of the moon and how they affect life on earth, the ocean's tides, our physical bodies. I imagine the earth inhales and exhales in tandem with the lunar cycles.

Hummingbird Moonface is carved from found aspen. The head has a pattern of hammered nails hammered in around the top. On the top of the head is a branch with carved leaves, flowers and a hummingbird. The sculpture is delicately painted with iridescent acrylic and finished with wax. There's a hook on the back to hang it on the wall.
