Texturing of logs...
A key element of this sculpture is texture,
the texture of timber. Charring gives the timber
the effect of being enormous pieces of charcoal...
The beautiful forms and textures of the overall
sculpture created by first selecting interestingly
shaped timber, to be split or carved and then each
piece to be effect by fire. Its a lengthy process to
treat each piece of wood in this way, possibly taking
a few weeks, but hopefully the effort will be worth it...
