BEAUTY: Sculpture--Julian Watts

I can't look away from the amazing work of sculptor and woodworker Julian Watts. His bio sums it up:

"Julian Watts combines traditional wood carving techniques with an experimental sculptural approach to explore the formal and conceptual intersections between the human body, the landscape, and the functional objects that we interact with everyday. This approach has continued to evolve, expanding to incorporate an entire ecosystem of abstract, biomorphic wood carvings, ranging from bowls, to furniture, to largescale, purely sculptural pieces."

These pieces are so satisfying to gaze upon, as one's eye travels and feels the biomorphic and anatomical forms.
