Expressions in Wood: Masterworks from the Wornick Collection

by Tran Turner (compiler), Matthew Kangas (Contributor), John Perreault (Contributor)

Published to coincide with an exhibition originating at the Oakland Museum of California during 1997, this catalogue brings the exhibition's enchantment to an audience beyond the lucky few who will see it in person. Several essays discuss the history and significance of turned wood vessels, the aesthetics of the objects, and new perspectives on the lathe. The Wornicks themselves describe their appreciation of the craft and the joy of collecting items guided by a strong inner eye. The pieces are showcased in full-page color photos, with bios (and photos) of the artists. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
