Description 

Large round vessel made from locally sourced cherry, with a thick, defined rim. A dark iron oxide finish is accented with drips of local chalk clay, creating streaks of soft white along the sides.  This piece embraces the textures and knots of cherry wood, contrasting tones and textures of iron oxide and chalky finish, emphasising the soft form and raw details of the material it is crafted from. 

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.
