Rift

Original artwork

Rift is the final work in a series of three sculptures exploring the transformation of discarded materials into objects of permanence and significance. Carving, scorching and staining expose the timber’s fibres, marks and imperfections, while fire actively shapes and reveals its surface. The introduction of steel creates a sense of contrast and tension, while giving the work an added element of strength and permanence. The series is made entirely from unwanted offcuts of solid UK hardwoods. By elevating discarded timber into carefully considered works, I hope to encourage a deeper appreciation of both the material and the stories it carries.
