Delving deeper into its creation, Jason meticulously gilded the natural edge of the wood with 18-carat gold leaf, complementing it with teal colour sheets for added texture and contrast. He envisages the fusion of wood and resin as a painterly representation of an island seen from above, with the waves of the sea lapping at its shores. Measuring two inches thick, this art form is not only visually striking when mounted on a wall or displayed on a shelf with a plate stand—as shown in the accompanying images—but also functional, featuring a small bowl area for storing various items. Pictures detailing the artistic process are provided to enhance appreciation for the craftsmanship behind this unique piece.
Inspiration and Techniques
Jason’s work is inspired by the natural world and the vastness of space, which he captures through his unique use of wood and resin. His technique of pouring resin like painting allows him to create designs that represent planets, oceans, and galaxies. This method gives him creative freedom and the ability to work with smaller pieces of wood. For Jason, woodturning is not only a craft but a therapeutic practice, blending artistry with a personal journey of resilience.
