Jonah: a work in progress

With studio lighting...


And, with natural lighting.

These are two photos of Bill Wolff's newest work, "Jonah" as seen in the studio.

The piece is approximately 190cm x 240cm x 150cm, and weighs about 300 pounds. It was made from a single camphor log, cut apart and reassembled. A small person can easily stand inside it.

Venue for this piece is currently being located.

"New Work From An Old Studio 2" 12/1-12-10/2006

The Second Annual "New Work From An Old Studio" was held from December 1st-10th at the Hiragushi Denchu Atelier in Sakuragi-cho, Ueno, Tokyo. The Denchu atelier/residence was built in 1920 in Ueno's Sakuragi neighborhood as a residence and studio for sculptor Hiragushi Denchu (1872-1979). Denchu taught wood carving at the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts from the age of 73 (1944 to 1952).

For the second "New works from an old studio," graduate students, faculty and researchers from the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music once again exhibited wood sculpture in this historical building. Unlike a conventional gallery, works exhibited at the residence were sited directly on tatami mats and in various places around the house and atelier.

Bill's piece was sited in the front room, overlooking the front courtyard of this traditional wooden home.
