Description 

This vessel is made from sustainably sourced silver birch, resting securely on its base. Vertical hand-carved facets run along the body, leading to a softly rounded top with a hollowed opening. Locally foraged botanical dyes give the surface a dark surfaces that moves softly through brown, red and soft silver like grey tones, while details of knots and natural wood markings remain visible. 

About the Artist 

Glenn Dane works in Cambridgeshire, creating vessels and sculptural forms from locally and sustainably sourced wood. Using freshly cut green timber, he allows natural movement and distortion to shape each piece, preserving knots, fissures and grain as traces of growth. Cracks are stitched as acts of care, and surfaces are finished with hand-made dyes and pigments from foraged plants, seeds and earth. The works exist as abstract, three-dimensional landscapes that reimagine the countryside through form and colour.
