Item details

Pyrographic study of Zebras on Spalted Poplar from the New Forest. Spalting is the natural lines and discolouration caused by fungal spores as they enter the timber. If the timber was left to nature, the fungus would continue to rot the timber away, however if the timber is 'rescued' at an early stage this process can be arrested, leaving beautifully marked wood that enhances woodturnings and pyrography. The irregular shape of the timber is the natural shape of the tree.

All of the wall pieces I produce start with seeing the raw slab of timber. It may have been left to season for some time and at this stage will look dirty and grey. Andy then works his magic to sand...and sand...and sand to prepare the board ready for me to burn my design. It is not until I see the timber at this stage that I will know what I am going to pyrograph onto it. The natural markings in this special piece of Poplar looked like rain clouds gathering for the wet season, and so the Zebras came to life.
To paint these onto canvas with oils would probably take 2 or 3 days for me, but the whole process of burning them into the wood took 1 week. It leaves a texture and has a tactile nature
Pyrography teaches you patience and gives a feeling of permanence to your work.
