Elements

A sycamore bowl textured with a variety of tools and coloured with spirit stains. This was my entry for The Master's Exhibition at The Worshipful Company of Turners' 'Wizardry in Wood' event held in the City of London at the end of October.
...and the blurb that went with the item:

This piece, Elements, grew out of an earlier series of pieces using dotted lines and colours to show the various ways we connect with each other and our environment. Inspired by mines, oilfields, floods, wildfires, city maps, hidden pathways, gemstones, archaeology, astronomy and geometry, Elements is a representation of air, earth, fire and water and humanity’s interaction with the natural world. It shows scars of destruction, pathways of exploration and layers of habitation. Elements also celebrates the physical and spiritual beauty of our world and the way that connections, relationships and balance can be achieved, though it is a fragile balance that needs constant attention as we spin through the enormity of space, with a little wobble.
