Hand-burnt on bias cut ash, Larger Than Life features a woman's hand grasping a bouquet of flowering aquatic plants commonly associated with habitats frequented by largemouth bass, of which two are featured swimming around the bouquet in this piece.
This piece (and larger collection) is a tribute to femininity in wild places inspired by years of working and recreating in these overlooked, misunderstood and under appreciated environments.
Species included in the piece are broadleaf cattail, water smartweed (Polygonum amphibium), white water crowfoot (Ranunculus longirostris), Richardson's pondweed (Potamogeton richardsonii), white water lily, and yellow pond lily.
Details: Woodburning on live edge maple, finished with an exterior varnish for UV protection. Wire hanging system installed on the back, ready to hang. Title and year burned onto back of piece.
*Colour/shade may vary in person due to lighting and screen settings
