Splice

Original artwork

This series of scultpures explore how discarded materials can be transformed into objects of permanence and significance. Surface is central to the work. Rather than concealing the timber’s natural character, the fibres are exposed and celebrated through carving, scorching and staining. Offcuts from the workshop are spliced together and scorched, fire and heat becoming a collaborator in the making process, not simply a finishing technique. The shield-like forms reference protection, identity and memory, inviting a deeper appreciation of the material and the stories it carries.
