Sculpture

An intricate sculpture that is an evocation of growth and nature. Created by applying a simple form and then repeating it with slight variations as it grows upwards. To maintain structural integrity, a thread of tensioned string runs vertically through the piece, which stands on a square base raised a touch off the floor. Designed in a digital space, and made by hand in collaboration with Hugo McCarthy of HFG, this is a delicately balanced piece, reminiscent of both architectural models and Escher paintings.

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.
