TitledGiant Hand of Vyrnwy, the piece measures 50 feet tall and transforms in front of your eyes.
Giant Hand of Vyrnwyis carved into the formerly tallest tree in Wales.
In fact, thats why ORourke got to create the sculpture in the first place.
To craft such an impressive piece required the right tools and a strong work ethic.
Six days of intense work followed using chainsaws and grinders.
Aside from being an incredible work of art, the process was a valuable reminder for ORourke.
All in all, a humbling experience!
Artist Simon O’Rourke used a chainsaw to carve a giant hand emerging from a tree stump.
Creating the piece was an intense process.
O’Rourke worked in a scaffold and formed the hand over the course of six days.
Found this stunning sculpture whilst walking around the lake today.
