About the Artist
David Nash is one of Britain's most significant sculptors and a pivotal figure in the Land Art movement, globally renowned for his compelling works crafted primarily from wood. His practice is characterized by a deep reverence for natural forms, the inherent qualities of timber, and the dynamic processes of the environment. Nash often works directly in nature, creating monumental, often elemental, sculptures that respond to their specific location and evolve over time through exposure to the elements. His art explores themes of growth, decay, cyclical change, and the enduring relationship between humanity and the natural world, asserting a profound, almost spiritual, connection to the material.
