Two generations of dolphins leap in this sculpture by Wayan Rendah, as the mother provides a protective, nurturing canopy for her young child. Carved from jumpiness, or chinaberry wood, its rich grain comes to life under the guidance of a master artisan. ; About the Artist: Wayan Rendah; Wayan Rendah's father began teaching him to sculpt when he was a boy. ''Balinese woodcarving touches me very deeply. I have learned a variety of arts in Bali, such as gamelan dance, but carving a piece of wood gives me an incomparable sensation,'' he says. ''After I finished school, I studied further because I needed more experience, and the tools and material I needed were beyond my financial reach. Exploring the abstract world refreshes my mind in creating new carvings.''
