Description
Handcrafted from responsibly sourced local oak, this plate features a subtle lip around its edge and a raw, textured surface. Brushstrokes of contrasting pigments highlight the natural grain of the wood. An expanding crack is carefully mended with two stitches; a trace of the artist’s hand. With both painterly and sculptural qualities, the piece can be exhibited on a wall or placed on a surface.
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.
