Unveiling the Unexpected explores the transformative potential of multi-axis woodturning, showcasing Stuart’s ability to transcend conventional woodworking boundaries.
Each sculptural piece, crafted from a single salvaged or recycled piece of timber, pushes the limits of form and function, blurring the line between utility and abstraction. Stuart’s unique technique, involving the turning of wood on multiple axes, achieves complex twists and folds that defy gravity and invite curiosity.
The exhibition highlights the artist’s intuitive, hands-on approach and deep respect for materiality, celebrating the tactile beauty and individuality of each timber’s grain and character. Sustainability is central, with all works responsibly sourced and thoughtfully designed to provoke new ways of seeing the everyday. By elevating familiar materials into imaginative, surprising forms, Unveiling the Unexpected invites audiences to reconsider their relationship with crafted objects and the environment, offering a truly immersive and thought-provoking experience.
