NEW WORK " WALRUS CHILD "

4th work from the woodcutseries " SKIN "

SERIES " KOBU "

miniature made from tree warts

Things that are smooth outside are not always
soft inside. Hard gnarls and sharp prickles may
be hidden under the surface, which can grow
unnoticed and suddenly emerge as huge figures
before our eyes.
Manabe Anton’s works smoothly polished bring
the warmth and gentle feel of wood to those who
look upon them. This rich material brought from
nature lives on in his work, but then the power
of nature is sometimes beyond human control and
this is ever present in wood with gnarls and
prickles inside.
Manabe Anton recognizes the hidden life in the
forest and continues to make it visible to us all.
