Firewood sap - acrylic artwork on canvas, 92x122cm

Currently hanging at Lava Kingston ✨

Every few days I haul a load of firewood inside at my mothers house. And every few days I have to stop myself from taking the particularly interesting pieces, with gorgeous bark or crystallized sap. I don’t always succeed - and another little piece of wood comes home with me, to hang around in my studio quite unnecessarily until I stop finding it captivating. My studio is full of these little pieces of wood, or leaves, or stones, or feathers.

This particular piece of wood had some of the most amazing deep plum and rose pink I have ever seen in nature. Combined with flashes of iridescence and blue in the sap. I have a feeling I’ll be keeping it for awhile.

Hanging

This piece is being sold unframed and can come ready to hang (with hooks and wire installed, at your preferred orientation) or with hanging fittings supplied separately. If you intend to frame, the framer can install the hanging fittings for you. 

Framing

We are happy to organise framing with our preferred supplier at an additional cost. The best way to go about this is to purchase the piece, and contact us directly after checkout for a framing quote.

Frames range drastically in price depending on size, style and materials, and can be a very personal preference.

Our personal preference would be to frame this in a floating frame made of Victorian ash or Tasmanian oak. 

Freight

This piece is oversized and will require a courier quote to deliver outside Canberra. Within Canberra happy for the buyer to pickup directly, or we can organise delivery at an additional cost.
