The Birth of the Viking Ship

This turned-wood sculpture was inspired by the 10th-century Viking ships displayed in the Drakkar museum in Oslo. Fifteen centrally connected boat-like tentacles are carved out of a single piece of cherry wood. The rough texture of the acrylic-painted interiors of the boats and their curved figureheads contrasts with the polished exteriors.
