Glenn Dane 'Warped disc from sustainably sourced oak, with iron oxide finish and stitch mending'

Dimensions - Ø25cm 

Materials -  Sustainably sourced oak, with iron oxide finish and stitch mending

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

Description 

This warped disc is shaped by the natural drying of oak, allowing the wood to move and distort over time. An iron oxide finish gives the surface rich, dark tones that settle into the grain. Four stitches mend a small crack near the centre of the piece, a subtle marker of the artist’s intervention. 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.
