Offering, Ash on Ash
Max Bainbridge | One Tree
£8,700.00
A bench with accompanying vessels that all accentuate the raw edges, splits and cracks that formed when the ash tree fell. The bench features traditional joinery methods in construction, and a roughly finished contoured seat. Each vessel is different in size and shape, all resolutely un-uniform.
This piece is part of SCP's One Tree project, which sees the repurposing of a dying ash tree from Sheridan Coakley’s garden. It’s a project that focuses on wood: how we grow it, use it, and secure its future. The One Tree project seeks to create one-off objects of beauty, which will both retain the carbon from the tree and give new material life to something which would have otherwise disappeared.
