Volumptuous

By Roger Pringle

Roger Pringle is from Portland. A self-taught sculptor, his carvings from mahogany, Jamaican cedar and lignum vitae are rendered with an exquisite line

which he admits is inspired by the female body. The pieces are a hybrid of representation and pure imagination.

"Volumptuous" is the most central piece and arguably the most striking. The base of raw "practically untouched" wood gives rise, through sensuously curved planes, to an emergent nude female figure.
