Artist of the Month Joel Hunnicutt IN HIS OWN WORDS “I am a self taught wood turner focused on the shape, color and design of the vessel. The primary technique I use is called “segmented” turning. This is a process of precisely cutting and assembling small pieces of wood and turning them to a final shape. The use of this technique allows me tremendous flexibility in designing shapes that would be extremely difficult or impossible to create from solid wood. My goal is to generate the flowing feeling of glass in the organic medium of wood. Pieces are typically finished in lacquer. Often I use dyes in the lacquer to create a rainbow of color, not generally associated with wood.” Joel serves as Chairman of the Board of NCArts Inc., a creative space in North Carolina, designed to help emerging artists in their process of skill and market development. He has been selected as a keynote demonstrator at wood turning symposiums. His work is meticulous and anything but commonplace. The Idyllwild Gallery is honored to present the current work of this talented young artist.
