COMMISSIONS

Jeff’s personal and ecological work, which includes public commissions, is concerned with the energies and cyclic patterns of nature. Large-scale carved and constructed pieces using ancient tools - axes adzes and gouges and green woodworking techniques working with oak, elm, sweet chestnut etc.

These pieces are often concerned with evoking and depicting the ancient and archetypal energies of landscape, trees, water and stone and seeing them as infused with energy and spirit which connects them deeply to human consciousness and vice versa.

There is a concern with those moments of fusion between human energies and the impersonal processes of the natural world. Movements in the human psyche parallel these processes and transformations, which constantly recreate the world around us.
