Handpainted and gilded 18mm (3/4") thick lasercut plywood sculpture, 12.5cm (4.9") high.
Inspired by architecture, this little sculpture looks great on a window ledge, mantel piece or shelf.
12.5cm high, 18mm thick. 4.9" high, 3/4" thick.
Lasercut from my original drawings using high quality Poplar plywood, then hand painted and stained with engraved lines and aluminium gilding.
Bare wood on reverse side.
My long standing interest in landscape and architecture has always inspired my drawing and painting. Vernacular buildings, both rural and urban, domestic and functional, have found a place in my paintings for some time, no doubt also informed by time as an architectural technician. I am particular drawn to the triangular form of the gable ends of buildings, whether they be simple sheds, northern terraces, suburban 1960’s bungalows, barns or giant warehouses. The move from painting to 3D forms was an instinctive urge, a desire for a more physical, tactile exploration. That exploration encompasses both the formal aspects of architectural, geometric shapes and what they mean in the sense of home, shelter, work and human endeavour and it’s impact on our external and internal landscapes. I think there is also an element of play involved in creating imaginary worlds, remembering the painted wood toy building blocks of childhood.
