Figurative wood sculptures by john Adamson

Figurative sculpture in wood inspired by the form of the log. The wood has been allowed what to tell it's own story. Mainly based on the human figure but includes a wide range of subjects depending on the Corporate Art and Private commissioners requirements. The natural form of the log, tree or root has natural curves and strengths that help to give life and movement to the figures. With square cut timber, these elements are not so evident, and the figure can easily look stiff like a wooden toy soldier.
