New exploration and new work in progress... ⁣

I want more than just technique and beauty. I want to create a dialogue with the material - which I build up over many many hours of physically working with it. I want to intensify our wonder of nature and its complexity, find the essence of the material - reach the soul of it.

Thank you to the UK Friends of @womeninthearts for sharing this New York billboard for @MADMuseum featuring my work alongside Taylor Swift and Shary boyle

This group exhibition curated by Daniel Malarkey will be situated in @lhotel Paris - the last home of Oscar Wilde. Opens 18-22 Oct

I've created new works using burr from trees felled by Reading Gaol, growing when Wilde was incarcerated & wrote 'De Profundis'

'Chamber' curated by Sarah Myerscough Gallery- on show at PAD London until 15 October 2023.

'Chamber speaks to the abundance of the earth from which our artist-designer-makers sustainably source and grow their materials.'

For PAD Sarah Myerscough Gallery will present ‘Chamber’ featuring scorched work in burr. 10 - 15 Oct

Great to read 'Design of the Times' - a fantastic Collecting feature in FT Weekend by Sarah Moore with a focus on PAD London, and which features my Black Calyx

Becoming a finalist in the LOEWE FOUNDATION Craft Prize was a truly wonderful experience.

New Time & Texture works will be presented by @1831Gallery in the “The True Nature' for @parisdesignweek from 7-16 September

Loading up some beautiful new burr - ready to create new work for next year's shows.

Creating to human scale - not only totemic works that relate to the scale of the whole body but forms like these which invite touch and beg to be held in the hand.

Holiday at the the Victoria & Albert museum... Column Vessel I/20 is taking summer ‘holiday’ to the V&A Furniture gallery this year. The piece us usually installed at the V&A on level 3 in Room 111 - overlooking the Cast Court.

Our relative experience of time doesn’t follow a singular rhythmic pattern. ‘Time’ itself feels etched on species of wood such as Sequoia - where wood grows at a different density during different times of the year.

Happy 25th Birthday Sarah Myerscough Gallery

Their celebratory exhibition Collections is now open at the new gallery space situated at 34 North Row, Mayfair.
⁠⁠
Monday - Friday 10am-6pm⁠

I first turn Column Vessels in sections on the lathe. They are jointed and then I sculpt using the shapes and voids in the wood to bring the piece together as one form.
