This colourful and sculptural Conical Strata Collection consists of five one-of-a-kind pieces. Each piece is handmade and inspired by the shapes and layers of the British coastline. Reminiscent of a barnacle shape on a rock, each lathe-turned tactile object combines different wood and hundreds of coloured pages, layered and compressed.

When wood and paper meet
- • Hannah creates tactile artworks
- • She has developed a unique technique of combining paper and wood
- • She uses recycled paper that is then turned on the lathe
Nature itself introduced Hannah Lane her future craft. The artisan accidentally left a book of Lord of the Rings out in the rain and the paper transformation inspired her to reuse the material to create something completely new. She applied woodworking techniques to paper and the resulting magic lay the foundations of her practice. That was in 2002, today Hannah Lane is an award-winning artisan with works exhibited around the world. One of the features defining her works is eco-friendliness and devotion to recycling. “I am fascinated by the relationship between the two materials, their expansion, and contraction,” says Hannah about her enchanting and very original approach to merging paper and wood. Her objects know no boundaries and represent freedom of creative thought with a sustainable edge.

Infinity
Infinity was inspired by Hannah’s childhood which included a lot of photography. This true-to-size camera, finished with a traditional leather strap, is made of many block layers of paper and wood of different colours and patterns positioned like bricks. The paper lens has been turned on the lathe.

Teardrop
The piece is reminiscent of a teardrop. The contrast of the warm oak against the bright white, red, and pink of the envelopes creates an intriguing visual contrast. This lathe-turned sculpture combines recycled paper and wood.
