Hello y'all,
i have made a new sculpture, it is called "Silenced", the whole idea begind it is that people troughout the centuries, have been silenced by other people with more money or power.
The sculpture is almost 2m60 high and is made out of Nord-French oak, alumium and copper.
This is a series of 4 sculptures that i am making.
Greetings Andy deschacht, Belgium
You can see more of my sculptures at my blog Andy Deschacht Wood Artist

Huge !
I like its shape, it looks like a heavy stone. The weight of history ?
Somehow, I'm not completely convinced by the base
Did you darken the black areas by burning, stain, ammonia, ebonysation ?

Nice work Andy.

Does the protruding piece above the head and the carving on it add meaning, or is it aesthetic?

Nice piece Andy. I think it has a lot of significance in today's world.

Thank you guys,
@Copeau i've made the second with a different base, not because you don't like this one, it is just that i'm experimenting still, the dark reas were burnt
@ JB the piece above the head has it's meaning, it stands for the thoughts of those whom has been silenced
Grts Andy
