The Scholar
In this unique, miniature sculpture a tiny scholar looks up from his research - what is he studying? Inspired by netsuke and mementomori in all his fully three dimensional detail. Hand carved, using self made miniature chisels, from a tubular section of sterilised bone ‘the Scholar’ is approx. 80mm tall. One of my most tactile and intricate carvings yet - a grotesque jewel in bone.
