archiemcphee:Canadian artist Shane Wilson transforms massive moose antlers into magnificent works of sculpture inspired by his natural surroundings in northern Ontario. Using ethically sourced antlers, horns, and skulls from native animals, Wilson painstakingly carves beautifully detailed scenes from the Canadian wilderness as well as intricate geometric, organic, and traditional patterns. His skill and care can turn a huge pair of solid moose antlers into branches covered in perching birds, a forest or mountain scene, a complex maze of Celtic knotwork, or even a dreamy interpretation of the Aurora borealis (bottom image).Head over to Shane Wilson’s website to check out more of his stunning antler carvings.[via Hi-Fructose] -- source link
