Artwork Description

With his Ascending Bowls, Mark Lindquist began in the early 1980s to challenge the tradition of turning perfect forms. The rough surfaces reveal the lines and scrapes of the chainsaw and lathe. Lindquist uses large burls for his sculptures, scavenged from forests or logger's yards, and allows the cut pieces to dry for several years. In Ascending Bowl #3, the uneven, thick walls rise gracefully from a narrow base and retain the aged texture of the wood.
