Reclaimed Territory | Alex Clunies-Ross

A few years ago, Alex wrote in a journal that he didn’t feel he had any artistic gifts.  In an ironic twist which reflects that we are always capable of learning new things, Alex has been on a journey of discovering a completely new form of expression.  Believing that we are created beings, Alex feels that somewhere inside each of us is the desire to create new things and to reflect the beauty we see in the world, and that it is important that this part of us finds a healthy expression. 

Wood sculpting is the art of revealing and many of the pieces of timber Alex scavenges are damaged. Sometimes the wounds are superficial but others can run deeply and ultimately can’t be hidden or avoided. Instead they need to be gently integrated into the story of the final piece and which may even add to the beauty.
