This sculpture made of horse chestnut burr was turned on a lathe, hollowed, sand-blasted and bleached. Part of the Echoes of Amphora series, it represents the tension between two perceptions or dimensions of time and beauty. On the one hand, there is the scale of human civilisation and culture, as well as the search for ultimate formal perfection, refinement and balance; on the other hand, there is the scale of geological and organic evolution, chaotic, vital, imperfect, partial, surging and disrupting the order.

Eleanor has always been fascinated by landscapes and the way natural elements work on materials, breaking them down, softening edges, rounding and fragmenting the lines. Using this inspiration in her work, she builds up layers of texture by turning, carving and sandblasting the wood surface to bring out the hidden patterns and lines.

Fascinated by wood as a living, breathing material with a history and struggles centuries beyond our own, Eleanor has turned and sandblasted this horse chestnut burr piece, removing the bark to reveal its hidden secrets and ethereal landscapes. The wood has been scorched and meticulously hand-worked to bring out different lustres and achieve an alabaster-like smoothness.

Drawing on her fascination with landscapes and the way natural elements such as wind and water shape them, Eleanor has turned and sandblasted this piece of sycamore to reveal its underlying fibres and patterns. The resulting sculpture evokes natural movement – wind, sand, rhythm and the flow of time.
