The heart and soul of a tree is just below
ground level at the point of seed germination where the roots and stem
emerge. It is here that the most beautiful, twisted and tangled grain
can be found. Every part of this split level display table is
sourced from salvaged tree stumps of five different tree species from
“The Stiks”.
An inverted Budgeroo tree stump has been hollowed
out and carved into spreading branches of a tree. Negative spaces have
been created to enhance the carving and to resemble the way most trees
are pruned to allow the penetration of light and air.
The 4 table tops or platters have been carved from a
variety of tree roots to resemble leaves that would allow the drainage
of rain, as they would in nature.
