Artist’s Statement

"Carving sculpture in wood is how I communicate the might and majesty, and the reverence I feel towards trees. Unlike other materials, stone, bronze, or clay, wood was once a living substance, akin to our own flesh. Forests are communities, families rooted in the earth. Trees convert soil and water, sunlight and air into towering columns of ringed timber. From the earilest times of man we have made our homes, first in the sheltering forests, then out of lumber cut from the woods. Trees produce the oxygen we breath, moderate the climate, and store carbon that we use as fuel. It is the lives of trees that have made our human existence possible. Trees are holy and carving is my religion." Roger Wing
