This piece, titled “New Severn” is made from an English Burr Oak and Indian Ebony with wire and Dutch leaf. It was inspired by the new Severn bridge.
As you travel out of Wales on the motorway you see the bridge structure with it’s supporting wires which appear as the sails of a ship, full of wind looming out of the mist; on a sunny day the water sparkles with sunshine. “New Severn” shows the (stylised) bridge supports with the wires curving down to the sweep of the road, the Dutch leaf and the top of the bowl which has gold dust sprinkled simulates the sparkle that once seen is never forgotten.
