Comparing Their Hands to My Own | James Gilbert

Hand-carved wooden sculpture composed of interconnected anthropomorphic figures with intertwined limbs and multiple heads. The compact composition is finished with stain, ink, varnish, and wax, revealing the wood grain beneath carved surfaces and visible tool marks.

A hand-carved wooden sculpture composed of interconnected anthropomorphic forms arranged into a compact, multidirectional composition. Multiple heads, limbs, and torsos merge through continuous carved transitions that encourage viewing from all sides. Tool marks, faceted carving, and exposed joinery remain visible beneath layers of stain, ink, varnish, and wax. The finish accentuates the wood grain while maintaining the tactile qualities of the carved surface.
