Malcolm Martin & Gaynor Dowling.
Wood Artists
“WE WORK TOGETHER ON EVERY STAGE OF THE PIECES, & HAVE BEEN COLLABORATING FULL TIME SINCE 1997. WHAT ALL OUR PIECES SHARE IS THE CENTRAL ROLE OF THE HAND & OF HAND TOOLS, PRIMARILY THROUGH CARVING.”
Malcolm and Gaynor make sculpture in wood, from half-ton monumental forms for a secret garden to vessels sewn together from sections of veneer weighing a few grammes. The makers' interest lies in the boundary between two and three-dimensional forms creating strong frontal images and implied volumes.
