About this artwork
The beauty in natural forms and preciousness of discarded objects: The organisms that removed the centre of this log, cell by cell, did so leaving the sapling that once stood at the heart of what became a huge tree. An old, bent, aluminum road sign and a sheet of clad from a dead caravan were used to in lay the checks in the timber and beat leaf for the heartwood.
