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, particularly space, oceans, and planets. By combining wood and resin, he has developed a technique that mimics the fluidity of painting, where the resin is poured in a way that interacts with the wood to create striking, dynamic designs. This method allows for more creative freedom and enables him to incorporate smaller pieces of wood, giving each piece a unique, layered look. For Jason, woodturning is not just a craft but also a therapeutic practice that helps him cope with pain while expressing his creativity.
