This grounded, sculptural ring was hand-carved in Scots Pine bark and cast in fully recycled silver using the sand-casting method. Bold in form and rich in texture, it reflects a maximalist approach rooted in natural symbolism and intuitive process.
The piece draws inspiration from the lore of the Scots Pine—a native tree deeply connected to the Moray landscape, and personally significant within this body of work. In folklore, the Scots Pine is linked to inner vision:
~ intuition
~ imagination
~ self-awareness
~ insight
These themes guided the making of the piece, which unfolded through a highly experimental and responsive process. The surface has been oxidised and selectively polished, revealing flashes of high-shine silver—a material expression of the deep listening required for true insight.
The result is a one-of-a-kind talisman—an echo of the forest floor, carrying the spirit of the tree in both form and presence.
