Description 

Cup made from sustainably sourced maple, with irregular vertical hand-carved facets and  subtle ledges along the surface. A stitched cross at the base marks a repaired crack, a trace of the maker’s hand. Locally foraged botanical dyes wash over the form in dark and grey tones, with veins of colour tracing the wood.

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.
