In other artworks I painted the wood and then cut it into small pieces, it was immediately apparent that for this image of a tornado crossing a field, I would have to cut all the wood first and paint it later. I designed the piece with the idea of using complex curves to express the incredible power of a cyclone. –Artist statement
