About
André
Working from a single studio outside the city, André turns, carves and burns whole trunks into vessels, benches and plates — each piece kept close to the form the wood arrived in, marked rather than disguised by the process that shaped it.
Process
Green wood, turned wet and left to move and crack as it dries — the split is kept, not filled. Surfaces are then brushed, charred or bleached depending on what the grain calls for.
Material
Oak, ash and cedar, sourced from storm-felled and reclaimed trunks within a day's drive of the studio. Nothing is bought new.
Exhibitions
