John Adamson-Tree Sculptor

Groups have been a part of my professional practice for about 30 years.  I like the challenge of the human figure, and the group dynamics and body language that a group carving provides.   Also I take onboard Henry Moore's idea that "sculptured should be interesting from each of the 360 degrees of the compass".   I have simplified this to 'there should not be an obvious front and back".   There is a fascination to finding figures inside the log and the result.  All of the the work below is not for sale as it is where I have done my learning and I refer to them frequently.   The prices are an indication of what a similar piece of work would cost now.   Commissions are welcome.
