One-of-a-Kind Carved Cedar Relief Panels THE FOUR SEASONS Alaska Artist Folk Art

Description

The Faces of the Four Seasons: One-of-a-Kind Hand
Carved Cedar Panels by Juneau, Alaska Artist, Aaron Elmore
This offering includes 4 carved and embellished
faces carved from cedar and mounted on panels.
Each face represents one of the four seasons and each panel is signed by
the artist, “Aaron Elmore 2001.”
My husband and I commissioned these custom panels
from Alaska artist, Aaron Elmore, in 2000. They were originally intended to be
butted up against each other and attached as a facade to our fireplace mantle,
which was a boring piece of plain wood, but we sold that house before they were
ever installed.
They could still easily
be attached to an existing mantle – you would have the most unique mantle in
the neighborhood!
The panels have graced our walls for over 20
years as individual wall hangings, but we have now reached a stage in our lives
where we need to downsize and minimize our belongings.
Aaron J. Elmore is a southeast Alaska artist
living in Juneau.
In my opinion, he is
Juneau’s Renaissance man. He is so accomplished in most every artistic
medium.
He is co-founder of the theatre
troupe, Theatre in the Rough and also works full time for the Alaska State
Museum.
He is a producer, director,
writer, designer, actor, singer, musician, painter, sculptor, seamster and,
yes, a fine carver.
It took Aaron over a year to source the perfect
pieces cedar and allow them to dry naturally, rather than dry them with heat
and risk them cracking.
Included in your purchase:
Spring:
Features
a youthful face, Dogwood flower “hair” (a southeast Alaska tree that flowers each
spring) and accented by copper studs
Summer:
A look of contentment in knowing who you are
graces this face. The “hair” is blueberries, accented, naturally, by dark blue
glass beads.
Note:
the only condition issue
with the entire
set is that two of the glass beads are missing from this panel. These could be
easily replaced using beads from a craft store.
See photo.
Autumn:
In the autumn of life, this face says “I know
the score.”
The “hair” is comprised of
round, plump wine grapes accented by copper wire tendrils.
Winter:
Wise old man winter shows that he’s been around
the block many times! His “hair” is carved snowflakes accented by gun metal
studs and embossed silver-tone discs.
