MAGNIFICENT SCULPTURE MADE ENTIRELY OF WOOD

DRIFT WOOD is carefully crafted and transformed into this thought provoking masterpiece. Full of wildlife such as deer, giraffes, monkeys and even rhinos, this sculpture bursts with nature that surrounds mankind. The amazing sculpture was created by American sculpture Paul Baliker, 59, after sculpting became his obsession. ’I started out sculpting to put food on the table, I never dreamt of where it would lead,’ said Paul. ‘I hope that people can see the environmental message I attempt to portray, and perhaps think hard about the impact man has on the natural world.
