Carved from ancient Irish bog yew, preserved beneath the earth for thousands of years, this sculptural work carries a strong, elemental presence.
The figure evokes a mythic form a watchful, enduring face emerging from the natural structure of the wood. Rather than being imposed, the expression is revealed through the grain, shaped by time as much as by the artist’s hand.
The deep, rich tones of the yew formed over millennia in the bog — give the surface a layered depth that shifts subtly with light. Each contour reflects both the raw origin of the material and the deliberate act of carving.
This piece exists between artifact and sculpture grounded, ancient, and unmistakably singular.
This is a one-of-a-kind work. It cannot be replicated.
MATERIAL:
Bog yew is a rare material formed when yew wood is preserved in peat bogs under unique anaerobic conditions. Over thousands of years, it darkens and develops complex tonal variations, creating a surface that is both organic and enduring.
