A wall object with the flowing lines of distinct ash growth rings, ranging in colour from the darker 'olive ash' core to the lighter outer rings of the trees growth. A shape inspired by the holes seen in trees, where a branch has broken or been cut off, and the tree repairs itself by growing its bark back over or even in the scarred area. Sometimes I think of this as a very slow wave, rolling into the hole.
The sides on this object have been painted light grey. The back ring has been painted red to give the centre a subtle glow on the wall in certain lighting conditions (see last picture).
This object is turned on the lathe, sanded and finished with a matt (almost invisible) oil to give it a natural appearance.
Wall sculpture in ash II
Wood is a wonderful and natural material. I will always change colour over time slightly. Do not place an object in a spot where it will be in direct sunlight, this can result in an unbalanced or too much colour change in the wood.
Finished with a matt oil, this object can simply be wept with a soft (slightly damp) cloth if nececarry.
