This month we recognize the work that can only come from the mind of one man, Elisha Rubinoff, as no other could conceive of the creatures and forms that emanate from his shop in Israel. Tentacles, spikes voids and mixed media abound in his imaginative and delicate work which takes the transformation of woodturned items to whole new level. Keep following wherever your muse leads you, Elisha!The WoW family is fortunate to have Elisha as an active and contributing member and is pleased to honor him as the Artist of the Month for October 2021.
The World of Woodturners site (WoW) originated in November, 2001. At its start it was the only interactive site where woodturners could post photos and descriptions of their work and engage in discussion about their art. WoW members think of themselves as a family. They are artists who have become friends and who willingly share their talents and skills. This is a place where the novice freely mixes with the seasoned professional in an atmosphere of shared respect. No one is anonymous and everyone uses their own name. From this venue has arisen some incredible art, some of which can be seen in the public gallery. Enjoy this display of fine work. Access to the site itself is at no cost, by obtaining a membership invitation from an existing WoW family member or contacting site administration at wowadmin@shaw.ca. Include your name and a brief description of your woodturning experience in the message.The site is owned and maintained by the World of Woodturners, Inc., a non-profit organization.
