Ferrous Shift II, 2018

This carved and hollowed vessel has been sculpted from a single piece of sequoia. Sequoia grows at a different density during different times of the year and this property of the material has been used to transform the texture of the piece. A lathe is used to turn the initial shape and to hollow it out. It is then chiselled and sand blasted to expose the sinuous pattern formed by the uneven growth of the wood.
