Artwork Description
Holly Tornheim carves each piece of wood to emphasize its natural color and pattern. In Topographic Tray she shaped a piece of curly maple to suggest a landscape of mountains and plains. The shimmering grain flows over the surface, evoking tiny streams of water and contributing to the illusion of a dramatic vista.
