Description 

A wide cup form, made from sustainably sourced oak, resting on a small foot. Irregular vertical hand-carved facets run along the body, with a dry finish marked with an expressive graphic, broad stroked cross of iron oxide and oak gall dye. A pieces rich with contrasts, where light wood tones meet sooty blacks, organic carvings meet perfect balance and bold gestures meet intricate, natural patina. 

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.
