Metamorphosis

[francesco dibari]

zebrano wood, the idea was born about two years ago with the design, but I was not able to develop it, can be seen in many ways, the head of an alien animal that breathes through gills and attacks the old material, a bird of prey taking flight, I was looking for is a movement made ​​up of shapes and colors, the combination of natural vein of the wood and the hand of man that values ​​matter


comments and suggestions very welcome
thanks to all

Man that has to be one of the coolest bowls I've ever seen.

Francesco, I think this is your best so far.

Just looked at that for several minutes .Its quite engaging. Interesting how it grows out of the bowl edge.Im sure it took a lot of care to carve and smooth without breaking.

I am so glad you included so many pictures. There are so many neat things to see from so many angles. A couple pictures would have not done this piece justice. I love it from every view. Thanks for a look at you fabulous talent.

That is really cool, Francesco! Very well carved and has a real "space alien" feel to it. Very creative.

definitely captured the 'alien' feeling. I love zebrawood for pieces like this where the straight grain creates an emphasis of the curves. I like how the grain around the pith is worked in. Great piece, thanks for showing it, and for so many pictures.
