Artwork Description

The soft folds and delicate curved edges of Derek Bencomo's vessels evoke the island landscape of Maui. Hana Valley twists and flows with the grain of the wood and natural flaws have been integrated to become elegant features. Bencomo often turns and carves a solid piece of wood and enjoys the fact that only he knows what it looked like before he started to work.
