Artwork Description
Stoney Lamar uses the wood's natural shape and pattern to inspire his pieces. Silent Perch is turned from one solid piece of wood and stands like an open book to reveal raised, concentric circles. Lamar has left shaped strips of bark on the edges that stand out against the smooth dogwood and recall its original state.
