ANIMAL SCULPTURES MADE FROM SLIVERS - artist Sergey Bobkov




Sophisticated animal sculptures made from slivers

Sergey Bobkov is a talented Russian artist who uses slivers to create complex and realistic looking animal sculptures. The first step in the process involves a thorough analysis and understanding of the anatomy of the future sculpture. The next step is to create the actual chips. To do this, he cuts 100-150 pieces from a solid cedar stick. He then holds the fragments in water for several days before starting to cut. Each sculpture may take about six months to complete.
