Heading to Fiji
 
Wood Carving
by Lee Etherington
 
Heading to Fiji is a bold and imaginative wood sculpture by master chainsaw carver Lee Etherington that perfectly captures the artist's playful spirit and extraordinary creativity. Featuring an expressive skull adorned with a striking mohawk, this one-of-a-kind work blends humour, adventure, and contemporary character into a captivating sculptural statement.
 
Expertly hand-carved from wood, Etherington reveals the natural beauty of the grain while skillfully transforming the material into a dramatic and highly detailed piece. The exaggerated features, open expression, and dynamic form create a sense of personality and storytelling, inviting viewers to imagine tales of tropical journeys, island adventures, and carefree exploration.
 
With its whimsical title and distinctive design, Heading to Fiji celebrates individuality, freedom, and the joy of embracing life's adventures with a sense of humour. Equal parts conversation piece and fine art sculpture, this remarkable work brings character, warmth, and artistic flair to any home, studio, cottage, or eclectic art collection.
