Dimensions - Ø15cm x H10cm

Materials - Sustainably sourced oak, with iron oxide & local chalk pigment finish

Care -  Dust lightly, keep dry and out of direct sunlight

Description 

A large cup form is crafted from sustainably sourced oak, gently widening toward the base before resting on a small foot. Dark undertones are layered with local chalk pigments, creating drips and subtle veining across the surface. This layered finish alternately reveals and conceals the intricate textures and patterns of the oak. The lightness of the chalk, moving downward into the darkness of the wood and iron oxide, draws attention to the boldness of 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.
