Anasazi

Natural edge Camphor hollow form 9d 4h
Sand carved and acrylic.

Inspired by "newspaper rock" in the painted desert. This rock has a huge assortment of petroglyphs left to us by artists from the Anasazi a thousand + years ago.
2016
This is a wonderful piece Al. I've spent a bit of time in the Southwest and love the Anasazi ruins and petroglyphs. Your piece looks wonderfully authentic yet modern.
 
@Ray Hari
Sandcarving is using sandblasting to make images.
The images can be the negative or positive space.
In this piece the shapes cut from resist are placed on the natural wood.
The background is then tecpxtured with the sand blasting ( I use coarse ground glass). Then before removing the resist the background is painted black with an airbrush. Then the resist is peeled off.
