This life size sculpture has been meticulously carved, chiselled and stained by hand. An original and unique work by the british artist roger denton. In reimagining this functional, every day object, denton’s creation appears both delicate and grounded, dancing between lightness and solidity. A tactile and intriguing artwork that would work well in a range of settings, or displayed individually.

denton studied art in the uk and has recently returned after a long stint in the usa where he exhibited and was commissioned widely. One of his larger works is on display as a piece of public art in the franklin district of nashville.
