Reflections carved book

Awarded Second Place in the show “Reflections” at The Artists Gallery, Feb. 2015.

This book was created for a show aptly called “Reflections” at The Artists Gallery. I knew I wanted to carve the word, and make it look like it was reflected below. In the search for a book, I was naturally drawn to several memoirs, and chose to use the one by George W. Bush.

After the show ended, I wrote a letter to former President Bush and included photos of the book. He actually wrote back–a personalized letter in which he reflected on his own experiences with recently taking up art.
