Wyoming in the western United States is one of the least populated state and still retains much of it rustic western atmosphere ands charm. As a result, it seems appropriate to match an old worn step stool as a base for the striking stone from the Snowy Range. The stone was mounted in an upright position to create the feeling of a figure or spirit. The walnut wood base was carved to follow the lines of the lower part of the stone to preserve the overall shape of the stone. The color of the base blends smoothly with the brownish components of the stone.

From the collection of Tom Elias and Hiromi Nakaoji. Step Stool from Richard Turner. Arrangement, Richard Turner, Paul Harris and Tom Elias, 2017.
