The idea for The Sylvan Table came to me when I found myself walking through a forest which had been clear-felled. I noticed all these semi-circular sections of tree, which were the wedges that had been removed in order to fell the trees. In this table, I wanted to create an abstract representation of trees, standing at different angles, which incorporated the wedge shape I’d seen on the forest floor. I then emphasised some of the wedge shapes with bubinga wood.
