Land artist David Nash is perhaps best known for Ash Dome, a circle of 22 ash trees that since 1978, Nash has been coaxing to bend and meet at the top. Famously using every part of fallen trees, Nash creates monumental wood sculptures and charcoal drawings that explore the interaction between humans and their natural environment.

« The world of nature, the environment, weather, time and space is so rich, you have to engage with it. »

Nash blackens and carves the raw material with industrial tools such as blowtorches and chainsaws, belying the fine details of his dramatic sculptures. He burns and chars the wood to form deep black, velvety surfaces. Burnt edges highlight geometric shapes cut into columns, hexagonal shapes are carved into oak eggs.

« I thought the most politically powerful statement to make as an artist was to engage with the environment. »
