Object Details
- Artist
- Ron Layport, born Elyria, OH 1942
- Exhibition Label
- Layport worked in advertising for forty years before pursuing woodworking in earnest. He is known for his intricate turned forms that "address the connection of humankind to Earth, and to the creatures with whom we share this planet." Carved from a single piece of maple, The Running draws on his skill as an illustrator as well as a craftsman. Though comprised of only five deer, the circular motif suggests an infinitely moving, massive herd.
