Double Walled Acoustic Bowl (Mahogany)
-
Description
For his Double Walled Acoustic Bowl, Alex Downs combines two shallow dished forms with distinct concentric patterns. The challenge for this work was blending the rims of two bowls, one deeper than the other, as they taper to a sharp scalloped edge, all forcing tighter holes amid spare textural lines. His works have a meditative quality embedded in the process, which entails carving coarsely into wood to reveal a multitude of textures that interact with the surface and radiate across the graining in each piece.

Alex Downs
Alex Downs developed a distinctive method of carving by spinning stacks of wood on a potter’s wheel and shaping them with a chainsaw blade. His organic mandalas have a meditative quality that reflects his renewed interest in Eastern philosophy ever since buying a home in the Hudson Valley across the river from a Buddhist temple.
