Carved & Whittled

At the Mingei International Museum. Carved and Whittled Sculpture. American Folk Art Walking Sticks From the Hill Collection.






Inspiring and joyful.

"Carved and whittled walking sticks give us a rare insight into the way in which sculpture functions as an art of transformation. Something as ordinary as a tree branch is refashioned into an artwork that we can experience as meaningful, beautiful or even magical. The fold sculptures who created the works in this exhibition have given us an amazing, unvarnished look at the art of sculpture and at the complexity of and American experience."
