Wholeness

Dimensions: 25.5” wide × 33.5” high × 2.375” deep

Wholeness speaks to the totality of our being - embracing the full spectrum of our human experience, from the blissfully enjoyable to the deeply challenging, as one facet of our infinite nature.

It also speaks to the balance and interconnectedness between the individual and the greater whole. The strength of the wolf is the pack, and the strength of the pack is the wolf. Whether that pack is our family, community, collective humanity, or all of Nature, there is an inherent relationship between the individual and the whole.

The name Wholeness continued to emerge throughout the creation of this piece, bringing its own teachings along the way. The creative process itself held many moments of challenge and surrender, inviting me to make room for the perfectly imperfect - the perceived flaws, missteps, and imperfections that are themselves part of the whole.

Through the wolf's deep, penetrating gaze, the balance and symmetry of its features, and the beautiful natural grains of the wood, Wholeness embodies a sense of harmony, depth, and equilibrium.

Materials:

• Premium hardwoods including White Oak, Red Oak, Hickory, Black Walnut, Maple, Sapele, Western Red Cedar, Ash, and Black Limba. The individual woods were carefully selected for their natural colours, grain patterns, and unique characteristics, contributing to the intricate details and dimensional depth of the wolf.

• Black-dyed White Oak veneered plywood background.

• Handcrafted black-dyed Douglas Fir frame.

• All of the wood is finished with premium hardwood oil.
