In her superbly crafted sculptures, Lynda Smith-Bugge, of Falls Church, Virginia, uses traditional woodworking methods to reveal the natural beauty and fascinating imperfections of wood. Undressing Trees is a show full of wit and playful imagination, as Smith-Bugge puts bare roots on formal pedestals and slices open knobbly burls of wood to expose the rich history of scars and patterns of growth hidden inside.
Smith-Bugge's works are on view October 1 through November 29.
