Waymarkers
|
|
|
Waymarkers can mark a route, transition or special place.
Sometimes I create pieces to draw attention to aspects of a habitat
in a public park; sometimes the references are more personal to myself or
a commissioner; sometimes I am asked to design the carving using
references that are particular to a person who has died.
The Waymarkers are always symbolic and organic in style. They are
created using a variety of tool marks to make tactile textures and
patterns. 1/3 of their length
is in the ground. They are treated
with bitumen paint below ground and up to 10cm above the soil level. They don’t
need to be cemented in, but can be for security.
They take 3-4 weeks to carve for the smaller ones and several
months for the largest. They are carved in green oak with Danish oil
as the final finish. They need
to be re-oiled only periodically once installed.
Prices are between £1,500 –
5,000 for commissions
