Nigel Dobson
I primarily work creating large steel sculpture, however on a number of residencies I have undertaken hollowing out a log to create a canoe form. The main aspect of the work comes in the physical act of removing the core of the log and the process that comes with that.
In the past I have also sent the log out on a body of water and lit a fire in the middle to leave no remaining object, just the remembering of the process in the hand made.
