Wood Carving of 6 Balls

Alf Bruseth

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture features a vertical, rectangular block structure that contains a series of spherical forms of varying sizes within it. The sculpture is a wooden piece characterized by its smooth, brown surface, with the wood grain visibly highlighted. The design is abstract, with the spheres arranged in a balanced composition within the rectangular frame that extends upwards from a broader base to a narrower top. The wooden sculpture appears to be carved with precise geometric cuts to contain these spheres in a systematic alignment.
