A rearing horse, caught in the bark before a single mark was made. This pendant is crafted from a real piece of reclaimed bark — collected from ancient woodland at Tyntesfield, a National Trust estate in North Somerset. Cleaned, sealed, and painted entirely by hand with layered gold botanical motifs on deep black. The diagonal break running through the form is the bark itself; the silhouette is uncut, unsmoothed, entirely as found.

What makes this piece yours
One of a kind: The natural grain and edge of the bark make this piece unrepeatable. When it sells, it is gone.
Found form: The horse shape exists in the bark itself — the painting follows what was already there.
Contrast: Raw, textured bark against hand-applied gold creates something that feels both ancient and refined.
Packaging
Each piece arrives in a hand-painted jewellery box with a hand-drawn ACEO illustration from the artist, a note on the bark's origin and the story of the piece, hand-signed and with a Certificate of Authenticity.
Each work in the Bark & Grain series carries one name. The bark is real — not cast, not replicated, not recreated. A two-hundred-year-old pine shaped it. Collected, restored, and painted — one brushstroke at a time — until its story surfaced. None of it can be repeated. One piece. Forever.
