For the past 25 years Colin has been creating images in wood using a mix of common and unusual veneers, utilising their individual grain and colour. The wild grain of certain types of burr can reflect the form and texture of the riverbed or a sandy rock pool. Certain woods will flicker with iridescence in changing light and give life to simple fish shapes or leaves. Lighter, fine-grained veneers of sycamore, box, pear and beech, lightly scorched at the edges appear like stones and pebbles.
"Wonder well on this point: the pleasant hours of our life are all connected by a more or less tangible link, with some memory of the table."
