Finwolf's Story:
Finwolf refers to the hybridisation of a Sea Serpent (Fin) and a Wolf, both legendary creatures from Viking mythology. In Norse mythology it was known as Jormungand which means "wolf-serpent".
Finwolf rests, floating & asleep underwater with its arms and legs tucked in close to protect its body. Large razor like fins protrude from its upper back and a plume of soft floral fins above its short tail. The body features full length streamlining and spirals at certain joints.
The spiral patterns are found in a lot of ancient cultures and here along with the concentric circles they represent water, creation and spiritual development.
The Wolf
The wolves in Norse mythology are often associated with something that is negative, they are frequently seen as evil and unreliable. But not all wolves are considered evil, Odin’s two wolves Geri and Freki are his loyal companions. The wolves were of the utmost importance to Odin, and the Viking warriors believed they could channel the power from the symbol of the wolf, which granted them strength and valor in battles ahead.
In the last centuries, wolves have disappeared from large areas of Scandinavia, especially in Denmark. But they have started to return, and their numbers are increasing each year.
The Serpent
In Norse mythology, Jormungand is the evil serpent that encircled the world, biting its own tail. It was also known as the Midgard Serpent, or the World Serpent, because its body coiled around the whole Earth (Midgard) underneath the oceans. The serpent’s eternal enemy was the thunder god Thor. Jormungand’s venom was utterly poisonous and its size was immense. So the father of the gods, Odin, cast the serpent into the sea, where ever afterward its movements were responsible for fatal storms and tidal waves.
Creating Finwolf
I created the design in Auckland, starting with a digital illustration, then bring the illustration into my CNC Program where I make a 2.5D model of the artwork. From the model I generate the g-code or CNC cutting code ready for the carving process. The material is loaded on the CNC machine and the piece is carved over a few hours. The carved art piece is then inspected, sanded, sealed, sanded again, painted, varnished and finally a hanging wire installed.
As you can see to create this sculpted piece there are many processes involved making it a truly special and bespoke item.
Packaging:
The item will be packaged with bubble wrapping inside a cardboard outer box.
Delivery:
The item will be couriered to your chosen destination. Courier and Shipping times TBC
