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.

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

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.

What is Earth Art?

Earth art, also known as Land Art, emerged in the 1960s and 70s as part of the conceptual art movement. It involves creating artworks by sculpting the land or constructing structures in the landscape using natural materials like earth, rocks, or twigs. These works are often large-scale and emphasize the relationship between art and nature.
