Neither woodcut, nor marquetry, it is simply an image of a seahorse, cut from a section of an ash tree which was damaged as it grew. The bark of the tree grew protectively around the damage creating the unique curled pattern which has been sectioned through to give the natural appearance of the seahorse’s body. The profile of the seahorse’s head was then carefully profiled to complete the piece, which was then mounted on a solid wood backing. Each seahorse is mounted on a piece of hardwood, usually solid oak or solid beech, and is individually numbered. A limited edition of only 30 was made, each being signed and dated. These seahorses have been popular at the Porty Art Walk.
