“…Hunter acknowledges the influence of work by Isamu Noguchi, Alberto Giacometi, and Constantin Brancusi.

 Hunter has moved from vessel forms to open spirals that are purely sculptural in inspiration and orientation.  These open turnings are a technical tour de force, bringing to mind the geometric perfection of floral patterns and nautilus chambers.”
