It's never easy to choose the TOTW.I really enjoy going through the gallery and seeing the quality of the work. This week's honor goes to Ricc Havens and his work titled "Black Ash." What drew me to this piece is the clever use of the bark intrusion. Ricc saw the potential in that chunk of timber with the bark intrusion smack in the middle. He saw it and pulled it off nicely. I also like the use of the Pewa. The Hawaiian language has no plural, its simply 3 pewa. one of the hashtags says hollow form. I think the #Vase is the closest one to describing it. Well done Ricc, congratulations!
