Ron Kent is one of Hawaii’s best known and accomplished artists working in the medium of wood. Best known for his turned wood bowls, Kent has employed his expert technical ability and keen sense of design to create a helix-shaped bench. Perhaps the title Hyperbole, meaning exaggerated statements, refers to the drama and exaggerated form of the bench, or just maybe the artist is anticipating our “wow” reaction.
