One of a series of sculptural works pairing antique flashed glass with weathered oak stumps retrieved from a Welsh hillside.  The fern, the birch and the bo all have strong spiritual meanings, and these pieces celebrate life and its vibrancy and the cyclicality of nature.  The glass is mouth-blown in France and Germany and has been acid-etched many times, in order to create the patterns and textures.  The glass has also been gilded, using silver and copper leaf applied by hand.  The oak is as found on the hillside but cleaned back.

A beautiful limited edition piece epitomising the movement and balance that Martin seeks to achieve in his sculptures. The attention to detail that hallmarks his work is critical here in establishing the relationship between the two hares - creating the sense of drama and  tension typical of a Martin Duffy sculpture.                                                                

At nearly a metre tall, the hares would be suitable for a large indoor space or an outdoor setting, as illustrated.

This beautiful oak burr has been power carved, shaped, sanded and then sand blasted to showcase the natural golden tones within the wood.

Finished with a thin wax oil coating.

Etched and oxidised 0.9mm copper plate. 

Float mounted in a black box frame, without glass. 

Unique, hand made.

Care Instructions:

The surface of the copper plate can be dusted gently with a soft microfibre cloth
