Nothing Less Splendid Would Have Wilted a Gentle Heart | James Gilbert

Hand-carved wooden sculpture depicting an anthropomorphic figure positioned horizontally with a carved head, circular open form, and intersecting geometric elements. The surface is finished with stain, varnish, and wax, revealing the wood grain, carved facets, and visible tool marks

A hand-carved wooden sculpture composed of interconnected anthropomorphic and geometric forms arranged in a horizontal orientation. A simplified carved head extends from one end of the composition, while an open circular element and intersecting structural forms create a dynamic balance between solid mass and negative space. The sculpture preserves visible tool marks, faceted carving, and subtle irregularities that record the hand-working of the wood. Layers of stain, varnish, and wax accentuate the natural grain while maintaining the tactile character of the carved surface
