British Sculptor David Nash makes monumental works from aged and diseased Trees previously displayed at The Royal Botanic Garden, Kew. Being a passionate environmentalist, he is using trees from the site that have fallen due to disease or old age as the basis for his new works.

His main tools are a chainsaw, an axe to carve the wood and fire to char it. It’s a collaborative process for him: “between the artist, his material and the natural world.” Some of the sculptures are black, the wood having been charred and then oiled. This protects the pieces from insect attacks.

A picture is worth a thousand words!
