Balancing Act is a joyous, ludic piece, a celebration of the exuberance and daring of childhood. We see a child on a slope calling out “Look at me!” and showing us how they can stand, poised and confident and steady, on one leg, two hands, one hand, their head …More and more, it seems, we need our children to be imbued with this energy and optimism; a counterbalance to the rising fearfulness and gloom in the world today, giving us hope for the future.
Roger Bennett is an Irish woodturner. He specialises in making distinctive bowls and vessels, which are inlaid with dots of silver and colored with wood dyes. He has been featured in numerous exhibitions both in Ireland and overseas. There are examples of his work in many public and private collections, including: the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the Fuller Craft Museum, Massachusetts; and the Contemporary Museum, Hawaii. He is a graduate (English and French) of Trinity College, Dublin. "I dream of making a bowl as strong as an eggshell, as heavy as a whisper. Of capturing and fixing my favorite colors – mallard drake green, oil on water, midnight in midsummer, frosty night skies.’ ‘And with silver I can indulge my love of order, impose my markings on the wood’s surface, the natural flows and eddies of the grain complemented by my precise patterns of dots.”
