Sown explores the impact of the elements on life. External forces are needed for plants to thrive and the sculptures consider the different ways that air, sun and water distribute and move seeds. I have created a series of wall sculptures that look at the patterns in nature called ‘By Air’, ‘By the Sun’, ‘By Water’.

These intricate sculptures do not replicate nature rather they observe cycles of growth. Each beech wood arch reflects repeating, spiralling mathematical patterns in nature, symbolising the extraordinary energy contained in every single seed.

Patience, hope and care are vital for a seed to germinate and for a sculpture to be made. The repetitious beech wood forms are meticulously and carefully articulated so they become a series of ripples and vibrations. A sense of life, dynamism and resonance is achieved as the timber lines create sculptures that are adventures of motion, light and colour.

‘Sown’ is made from the timber of a single beech tree grown from a single seed.
