THE ICHIBOKU SCULPTURES BY MARK LINDQUIST

Mark Lindquist, Hompashiki I, 1992, Pecan/Polychrome, 50"H x26"W x 20"D

Hompa Shiki, literally "rolling wave," refers to the deep carving technique which emulates a stylistic interpretation of drapery. No attempt is made by the sculptor to reproduce realistic folds, but rather to achieve the expression of mysterious, beautiful forms of sensuous, undulating, rhythmic sculpture.
