A large beechwood vase in the traditional form that shows the wood melting. Deep hollowed greenwood that takes 4 months to dry before the sculpting and finishing is done. The finish reveals the natural wood. This large vessel deals with my profound concern that we have passed the tipping point in the climate crisis. As our politicians stand by and watch through glasses that focus purely on the short term of the electoral cycle, the earth melts.

Greg Kent turns beech vessels close to a metre tall and then gives them something to say. Whether it is climate change, the myths we believe, looksmaxing, the absurdities of life, family or social media, nothing is safe from Gregs chisel. Each piece starts as a log a tree surgeon was going to burn.
