The Weathered Face
A vertical weathered timber panel whose knots and marks create an almost anthropomorphic expression.
Storytelling
Knots, scars and a small horizontal cut align across this vertical timber fragment to create an unexpectedly expressive surface.
Nothing has been added to suggest a face: the impression emerges naturally from the material itself, shaped by age, use and irregularity.
Mounted on a simple black base, the piece sits between found object and sculpture, allowing the wood's accidental composition to speak for itself.
