Completed in the end I decided on eight heads for this piece it’s a more even number and stands stronger
Each head is individually hand carved using carving knives and a rotary tool.
The wood chips around the base are what have amassed whilst carving the heads,
The strength in this piece comes from the fact that it could get knocked down at any point and thus nothing lives for ever, even when it is rebuilt it will never be the same again.
Maybe it is an unconscious metaphor for the current situation
