H 32.0 x W 32.0 x D 14.0 cm

Turned on the lathe. A voluptuous form in which the focus is pulled into the centred void (I’d like to think the focus goes into the unknown).

This particular piece comes from a tree that I harvested in Zeeland with a friend. After we felled the tree the trunk laid on the side of the pond for more than a year before I took it to the studio and started the rough work. After a rough blank was made it sat on a studio shelf to dry for another year or so. Now it finally has its form, silently.

It is finished with multiple layers of thin blue paint, applied whilst the piece was slowly turning on the lathe. The spalting lines in the wood beneath the painted surface is slightly visible but only when inspected closely.

Pictures with mug and wall are to show the scale. Hope that helps.
