Cosmic burl

£550.00

With all my resin art forms, I try to make them look like a landscape painting, but in a three-dimensional form. I like to use a small piece of wood that would otherwise be destined for the fire. I stabilise the wood and dye it at the same time. This gives the piece more depth and gives it a really nice texture. I’m free to make it anyway I choose as I’m not tied down to a particular shape, size or colour, like would normally be the case with a log. In addition to my resin pieces, I still love to make the more traditional wood turned art forms, but incorporating the natural angles and shapes from the tree

You This is one of my signature pieces of work what I’ve used here is a combination of horse chestnut burl and resin. I have gilded the outer side natural edge of the burl caps with a aluminium, blue and purple flake that’s giving it more of a rock meteorite, looking substance, I’d like to pour the wooden resin together, so it creates a more of a landscape painting, but in a three-dimensional form so it comes across more as a visual art sculpture that if you wanted can be used as a bowl, all three pieces of wood have been stabilised with stabilising resin, but I have added dye to the resin which then has died the wood to make it more organic. Then the piece has been carefully melted to a traditional wood turning lathe then carefully turned with traditional tools into the shape you seen now.
