With a keen eye for detail Pieter Bain transforms raw wood into captivating sculptures. Each piece is a dialogue between the artist and the natural world and an exploration of the wood's inherent character and the vision it inspires. Bain describes his process as both meditative and transformative. He seeks to honor the tree's journey by breathing new life into its form.
Bain is the creative force behind Wild Tribe Woodworks in Floyd, Va. His piece, "The Way She Moves" won Best in Show in Lynwood Artists' and Piedmont Arts' annual open-entry art show "Expressions" in 2023.
