Handmade in Cape Town South Africa of re-purposed wood sourced from building sites and recycling depots. The wood is collected, cleaned, painted and then hand cut into pieces and re-assembled into little works of art. As they are not working with new materials and the process is all by hand, every piece is unique and brings with it a little bit of history through the life stories of the wood gathered together to create something new.
Size: 19cm long x 35cm high
Being hand made items of natural and re-purposed materials, marks and flaws in the wood are what makes the pieces so special, as each piece of wood has a story. It is not uncommon for the material to bend slightly or change as it ages, develops and adjusts to its new environment. Each pieces has a wood backing, so changes are small, but they do occur.
