Awareness Itself Can Alter It | James Gilbert

Hand-carved wooden sculpture composed of intertwined anthropomorphic forms with multiple heads, arms, and legs arranged in a compact vertical structure. Pink stain, ink, varnish, and wax emphasize the carved surface and visible wood grain.

compressed into a dense, shifting composition. Multiple heads, limbs, hands, and feet overlap and pass through one another, creating an anatomy that changes as the sculpture is viewed from different angles. Layers of pink stain, ink, varnish, and wax emphasize the carved facets, visible tool marks, wood grain, and irregular surface. The intertwined figures suggest simultaneous gestures of support, restraint, balance, and reaction, making the reading of their behavior dependent on position and attention.
