Sculpture: Cycle of Decay

"Cycle of Decay" by Christopher David White

This piece may look like it's been hand carved from wood, but it is in fact made entirely out of ceramic, which makes the attention to detail of the wood effect even more astonishing.

“Through the use of trompe l’oeil, we look closer; we rediscover the amazement, joy, and tranquility that come from our environment.  At the same time, we witness our impermanence by evenhandedly dialing in on decay.  Neither good nor bad, decay is simply a natural process of our world that at times can produce deeply moving and beautiful effects”
