carving

We've featured the work of Ray Villafane before here on WIN, but today we have another of the pumpkin sculptures that made him famous. This time, it's his largest piece ever, unveiled at the New York Botanical gardens this last weekend. The piece is made of several pumpkins, with different sections carved and then held together with rods and adhesive. Check for more in the gallery below!

We've featured the work of Ray Villafane quite a few times now, but these are some of the pumpkins that put him on the map. Villafane's ability to carve texture and character into these ordinary squashes is mind-boggling, to say the least. He'll be making all kinds of new works for the New York Botanical Gardens through Halloween, so we'll be sure to post any more cool ones that come our way!

And now the robots take away our crafty folk-art? Will your domination know no bounds, you soulless machines?!
