Drawing inspiration from the timeless silhouette of ancient Greek amphorae, these hollow vessels occupy a space between artefact and sculpture. Their forms evoke the familiarity of excavated relics — objects seemingly unearthed rather than made — inviting speculation about their origin, purpose, and passage through time. Each piece is shaped directly in response to the elm branch from which it was carved; the natural dimensions and character of the timber determining its final proportion, scale, and presence.
