Acrylic and Wood Skulls by Laurel Ruth Hope

These beautiful acrylic skulls and wood skulls are a selection of amazing hand carved creations from Laurel Roth Hope.

These simian skulls were a part of a  series called ‘Hominids’. This skull themed series seerved to explore the relationships between primates. Skulls included are gorillas, chimpanzees and orangutans.

The glass-like animals skulls are hand carved from an acrylic block or solid industrial polysulfone. These are then polished to the create a glossy appearance. These skulls are from her ‘ Man’s Best Friend’ collection.

Laurel lives and works in San Francisco and is an occasional collaborator with Andy Diaz Hope.

We also found this tapestry on her website.  We are fairly sure there is aan optical illusion skull hidden in there. What do you think?
