註釋Master Wood Sculptor, Bill Heynen, shares five decades of sculpturing "Dynamic Creations" from exotic and domestic woods primarily using hand tools in this richly illustrated collection of more than 240 colored photographs which have never before been published. His innovative style ranges from intimate smaller pieces in Avocado Wood to tremendous Walnut Wood Burl sculptures. This unique visual portfolio reveals one-of-a-kind sculptures in eight chapters: Animal Sculptures (41), Human Sculptures (22), Relief Carvings (35), Freeform Sculptures (19), and Functional Sculptures (14), including mirrors, tables, serving bowls, trans and cradles. The works of art exhibit a range from representational to abstract, artful realism to simplified minimalism. Photos of the artist at work accompany selected sculptures during the various step-by-step phases from design to finishing. The "process" chapter uses clarifying text and descriptive photos to answer questions commonly asked about working with wood to create works of art from wood selection, design, wood storage, dry vs.wet wood, wood working equipment, carving tools and sharpening techniques, to fixing wood cracks, sanding, finishing, and displaying. This illustrated volume is a fine reference for Wood Sculptors, Artists, Wood Carvers, and Wood Workers; it will appeal and be valued by Art Teachers, Sculptors, and Students. It is also a book for the personal library of every general reader who has an interest in creative works of beautiful fine art. Engaging the viewer in the dynamic flow of the sculpture, encouraging continual interaction between the audience and the carving is the artist's ultimate goal.
