Carving with Character
Liriodendron tulipifera + Acer spp. = Student Meets Teacher
Student Meet Teacher was carved from poplar (piano keys) and maple (hands).
This was a commissioned piece by an art enthusiast who wanted to incorporate wall art into her home on a larger than life scale. When she was a young lady she wanted to take piano lessons with hopes of becoming an accomplished pianist. An instructor was introduced to her but she was unable to pursue her dream for undisclosed reasons. Hence, the sculpture Students Meets Teacher was born. The hands represent a student being taught by a piano teacher how to read and play on a stylized, serpentine grand piano.
