Materials - Responsibly sourced laburnum wood, with iron oxide and local chalk pigment finish

Description 

Hollowed from responsibly sourced laburnum, this wide vessel retains visible marks of turning, with subtle banding running through the wood. Finished with iron oxide and local chalk pigment, a soft white tone appears washed over the surface, allowing darker veins and areas of the wood to show through. The finish settles unevenly, emphasising the grain and the traces of making within the form.

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.
