The Boat Series: The Hole 2009

Kerry O. Furlani's 2009 "The Boat Series: The Hole" is a striking relief sculpture carved in slate. The artwork features a series of abstract forms, suggesting a boat with a person at the helm. The artist's use of deep incisions and textured surfaces creates a dynamic and expressive composition, highlighting the power of both abstraction and realism in sculpture. The piece invites viewers to consider the relationship between form and content, and the possibilities of artistic expression through unconventional materials.
