These smaller reliefs serve as foundational studies, allowing me to experiment with shapes and develop my design language on a more approachable scale. They provide an avenue to take greater risks with complexity and technique. This experimentation ultimately informs the construction of the larger sculptures, enabling me to quickly refine the woodworking processes required to execute specific forms.
