Venus, Tim Byrns, 2015, wood, 33 x 9 x 10 in. / 83.82 x 22.86 x 25.4 cm.

This sculpture reimagines prehistoric Venus figurines at a larger scale, emphasizing form and life-giving power. Carved from a single ash burl, it was shaped with chisels, burrs, and sandpaper, then inlaid with wood and aluminum tubing, exploring scale, contrast, and structural support.
