Variations of the Greenman motif are found in many cultures around the world. Often related to natural vegetative deities, the Greenman is a symbol of rebirth and the cycle of growth each spring. Mary May uses the Greenman project to demonstrate a variety of carving techniques, with special emphasis on carving facial features.
