Carved objects · reclaimed timber fragment
The Open Passage
A tall reclaimed wood fragment defined by a rectangular opening and deeply eroded grain.
Storytelling
A rectangular opening cuts through this tall timber fragment, creating a strong contrast between solid mass and empty space.
The surrounding surface is deeply weathered, with eroded fibres, irregular edges and natural splits that give the piece a raw architectural character.
Presented vertically on a black metal base, the object becomes a simple study of material, void and proportion.
