ADVENTURES IN WOOD

An exhibition of wood sculptures by Daryl Herbison November 29, 1999 - January 10, 2000



The artist comments:

"This exhibit features the best of my sculptures, produced over the past 3 years."

"Most of these pieces began their artistic lives as driftwood, truly sculptures-in progress. My efforts therefore are collaborative and freely exploratory. With some I begin with a clear idea of what I want. With others I have no clue at the start, but simply find something appealing in the shape, texture, coloration of the piece.

With each piece, my first adventure is always in the driftwood treasure hunt. My second adventure is in discovering, creating, refining features that I hope will come together as one esthetic idea or feeling. But, as with all art, particularly abstract art, the ongoing adventure belongs to any audience who engages the work with their own imagination.
Enjoy."
