Vesta Flame Hand Carved Laburnum Wood Sculpture. Vesta Flame is an original wood carving that explores the intersection of natural beauty and ancient symbolism. Hand carved from a stunning piece of Laburnum this sculpture is designed to capture the fluid flickering essence of fire within the permanent tactile medium of wood. The piece draws its name from Vesta the Roman goddess of the hearth and home. In antiquity Vesta fire was a sacred eternal flame that was never permitted to go out. This carving serves as a modern tribute to that eternal light representing the warmth sanctuary and spirit of the home. I chose Laburnum for this piece specifically for its dramatic visual character. The natural contrast between the deep heartwood and the creamy sapwood allows the flames to appear multi toned and alive. Every curve has been shaped to highlight the unique grain patterns of the timber ensuring that this is a truly one of a kind work of art. Details. Material Laburnum Wood. Height 57cm including base.
