FISH - Wood Sculpture
FISH - Wood Sculpture
Fish sculpture crafted from found wood Abigail has gathered on her wanderings.
Most pieces used to create this sculpture were collected in the UK along the Devonshire coast in early 2024.
Each piece of wood has been selected for it’s unique qualities of shape, texture or markings, carrying with it a feeling of the animal it is destined to become.
The starting place for these pieces isn’t the idea to create a specific animal, but a careful assessing of the wood collection and as pieces are selected to work with, the animal characters begin to reveal themselves.

Abigail works mostly with a range of hand tools in her London studio to create each piece.
The surface of the Fish has been carved, burnt, drawn on, brushed with orange paint and lightly spray painted. A discarded piece of rusted metal found on the beach in Charmouth, has been repurposed as it's dorsal fin.
Created for display only, it is a fragile piece to be handled with care. It is not a toy.
Each 'Wood Sculpture' is an original, unique artwork - you will receive the piece shown.
Measures approx: 22cm L, 7cm H, 7cm W.
