‘Standing of the Sun’, made during the festival of the summer solstice. Unwanted oak slab, Yakisugi and cold pressed plant oil. Oak is the tree of the solstice, it’s leaves are used for crowns and it’s wood for ceremonial fires. This is a time of hope and beginnings, at time when the earth rewards us with it’s bounty. Let’s make sure we treat mother earth with love.

Richard Cresswell: “The world on a knife edge. I recently saw the play ‘Kyoto’ and seeing how money and greed has played such a big part in the current dire situation we find ourselves in and as someone who spends time studying climate change, I felt moved to make my small comment on the situation as I see it and where we are at the moment.”

Sorrow abating like the tide of time, is a piece that I have worked on and off over several months as I do with much of my work. The root itself was extremely hard to carve and to place the head end onto the grain was a challenge but my choice. The root itself was dug up a few miles from my studio in an ancient Coppice woodland, the original tree felled many years ago. Circa (1750 -1800) the darkness of the oak and flowing root forms led me to create this sculpture.
This unique sculpture is hand made and finished using a blend of natural oils and waxes allowing this piece to live on in the great outdoors if so desired. Preservation and aftercare is of significant importance and always offered.

This is my take on the pagan sun deity Sol (also called sunna) she was the goddess of the sun, while her brother, mani, the God of the moon. Made from a naturally beautiful, curved trunk of brown oak Circa (1700-1750) sourced locally here in Dorset. She stands on a rusted metal plinth and is slightly larger than life. With many features in the wood itself I wanted the grain to follow the contours of her figure, she fixes you in her gaze and radiates a golden glow from deep within.

WW1 soldier carved from a large section of ancient Dorset beech, it stands at 2.5 meters and is on a plinth resembling a poppy. Initially shown as part of a WW1 exhibit here in Dorset back in 2019. In memory of all the men, women and children affected by the true horror of war, past present and future.

This wonderful wood has been traditionally used to make boats as it has an amazing ability to withstand water. As with many trees in Britain, it is at risk from our human activity, encroaching on greenbelts, tree clearing for building, our impact on the enviroment gives these incredible trees a fragile strength.
I work with reclaimed and storm fallen timber using an ancient Japanese technique called ‘Yakisugi’. This method preserves the wood – Yaki means to heat with fire, and sugi is cypress. By slightly charring the surface of the wood without combusting the whole piece, the wood becomes waterproof through the carbonisation and is thus more durable. It also protects against insects, as well as making the wood fire retardant. All my work aims to be as sustainable as possible and I will only use natural materials.

Druids believed that oak trees were sacred and directly from heaven. They performed religious rituals under them, climbed them to collect their leaves and fruits to use in medicines, and believed these trees harbored significant healing powers.
