This sculptural woodturning has been
made from a single piece of black cherry
which has been turned on multiple axes.
It was first cut into three pieces which
were then mounted on the lathe side by
side, to turn first one face, then the
remaining three faces. Finally each
piece was turned individually to form
the tops and bottoms.

The life experience of
these triplets has been nearly
identical. They grew together in the
same tree and were crafted by the same
hands in the same workshop.
As a family they show a
unity of character. As individuals they
have their own unique personalities. One
has a different 'spin' than the others.
They may provoke considerable thought
regarding the process by which they were
crafted, and it may take some time to
come to know the true nature of these
triplets.
They are visually and
tactually rich. They beg to picked up
and played with; feeling the richness of
their form and the qualities of their
textures; holding them to the light and
watching how the shadows play across
their surfaces; examining the
intersecting surfaces; setting them as a
group in a myriad of arrangements. This
is art you will want to interact with.
