Re: carving
Gray House, do you know Tony Cragg? I think some of his recent wood carvings are pretty weird.

Re: carving
I also recommend you to check out the sculptor Étienne Martin (1913-1995). Several of his works were explicitly based on the fiction of H.P. Lovecraft.

Re: carving
MagnusTC, thanks for posting those! I wasn't familiar with either of those sculptors.

Here is a link to a sculpture that was apparently influenced by HPL:

Re: carving
I actually have a catalogue somewhere documenting most of Étienne Martin's Lovecraft-based sculptures and installations (or "dwellings" as he called them). If I can get my scanner to work, I could post some of these. Meanwhile, here are some more of Martin's carvings. I would say these works are also related to weird fiction, although perhaps not in the titles.
