This moose antler composition represents a scene from the life of the Wild, wolves chasing a moose. The idea was to create the mood and the effect of movement which involved careful study of these animals' anatomy, movement and video shootings made in the Wild.
The animals are running against a background of the woods opening in the distance into the fields. The techniques applied are relief carving and burning. The moose is attached to a shield made of wood.
My special thanks are to Ute Hengsberg (Canada) for her helpful comments about the moose anatomy which helped me improve the previous carving with the same composition:
Work in progress Here you can see the selection of shots taken of the carvings in process of their creation.
