Abstract hand carved maple wood sculpture by Vince Skelly

About the Artist:

Vince Skelly (b. 1987, lives and works in Claremont, California) combines process, collective memory, and material to create wooden sculptures that explore the space between sculptural form and functional object. Using wood from a variety of trees from the Pacific Northwest and Southern California, Skelly works reductively to shape each stool, chair, or abstract form from a single block. Following grain, patterns, knots, and other characteristics inherent to the material, Skelly teases out simplified and essential forms that emerge in consort with the uniqueness and singularity of each block.
