Artwork Description

Fennell’s work is a mixture of turning, carving, and piercing. He creates his own tools to achieve his visions, noting, “I like the particular challenge of doing things no standard tools allow you to do. If I develop one, it may be used once or twice—but the idea of innovation appeals to me.”
