Annie’s Wood: Hundred Foot Drain 2

This three-panelled screen was made from excavated bog oak on one side, felled holly on the other. Wycliffe names his pieces after the places in which the wood was found. He considers the close grain, crisp edges and fine details of holly to be the closest material to ivory that he knows. Making the best of these qualities, he wanted to create a canvas of lines and shadows that contrasts with the darker bog oak on the reverse side of the screen.
