This is #2 of the Hollowed Series.
Hollowed is an ongoing sculptural series exploring the feeling of emptiness; the feeling itself, the causes of those feelings, the outward representation that results, and our responses/remedies. The series is tied together by the use of the base "Hollowed Treant" model and ranges from exploratory paint schemes to pieces with a tremendous amount of additional sculptural work.
This particular piece measures 4in high, with a 5in diameter base. The base is flocked to resemble grass, and the treant itself is painted in a blue, green, and yellow scheme.
Being depressed, sad, shocked, afraid, or one of any of the many gut-wrenching emotions isn't always depicted on one's face. Sometimes we just look hollow.

Ever wonder where a Shambles comes from? It grows from an acorn of course! Long suspected and ultimately discovered in the depths of an upstate New York forest, these acorns are dropped in the autumn and burrow deep in the ground. Warm and cozy in the soil they lie in wait for small insects to wander near their mouth and SNAP! A quick and nutritious meal.
These creatures try to survive until spring when they emerge from the ground with their first branches. Once upon the forest floor, they are ready to hide amongst the saplings, snatching up beetles, centipedes, and perhaps even small rodents. Opportunists, they hunt by standing perfectly still, blending in with surrounding trees, and waiting for something to get just a bit too close.
Given enough time and meals, a Shambles can grow larger than any tree in the forest. Quite impressive for something which started out so small.
Hand cast in polyurethane resin and lovingly hand painted, these cute baby creatures measure approximately 4.5" x 4" x 4.25" while embodying the spirit of a sleepy child, personified in acorn form.
