There to Live Out What Remains to Them | James Gilbert

Hand-carved wooden sculpture composed of interlocking anthropomorphic forms with elongated limbs and multiple heads arranged around a central mass. Stain, ink, varnish, and wax reveal the wood grain while preserving carved surfaces and visible tool marks.

A hand-carved wooden sculpture constructed from interconnected anthropomorphic forms that combine elongated limbs, simplified heads, and compressed bodies within a balanced three-dimensional composition. Individual forms intersect and support one another through carved transitions that emphasize continuity across the sculpture. The surface retains visible carving, including tool marks, faceted planes, and subtle variations in texture. Layers of stain, ink, varnish, and wax accentuate the natural character of the wood while maintaining evidence of the carving process.
