Flow_Botanical Abstract

from £135.00

Flow
100 × 120cm. Acrylic and metallic pigment on canvas. 2026.

This piece began with a breath. Not a plan, not a sketch — a breath, and then the brush moved.

Flow traces the body's geometry in motion: the arc of an arm lifting, the expansion of the ribcage, the moment breath and movement become one. The arc itself was drawn with an improvised compass — a bent nail fixed to the floor, a length of cord, a brush at the other end — built from what was at hand. The forms repeat and radiate outward, following the invisible lines the body draws in space.

Not forced. Found.

Part of the Bark & Grain collection.

Flow original artwork is on exhibition until the end of summer 2026 and not available for purchase online during this time. To enquire about the original, please email barkandgrainstudio@gmail.com.

'Fibratus' · Bark pendant
£75.00

Hand-painted bark pendant · gold acrylic on deep black · one of a kind · light radiating from a single point

This pendant began as a piece of fallen bark — collected from ancient woodland, cleaned, and prepared entirely by hand. The centre panel is painted in gold botanical motifs on deep black, framed by a gold dot border and a fine white line running through the composition. The natural grain of the bark forms the border; no two pieces share the same edge.

Fibratus is the cloud formation where parallel bands radiate outward from a single point on the horizon — the sky opening from one source of light. Each piece in the Bark & Grain jewellery series is named for a cloud. One name. One pendant.

What makes this piece yours

  • One of a kind: The natural grain and edge of the bark make this piece unrepeatable.

  • Found form: The parallel bands of gold follow the bark's own grain — the painting echoes what was already radiating through the wood.

  • Contrast: Raw, textured bark against hand-painted gold creates something that feels both ancient and luminous.

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.

'Congestus' Bark pendant
Sale Price: £0.00 Original Price: £98.00

Hand-painted bark pendant · gold botanical motifs · one of a kind · a horse in the grain

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.

Details

  • Material: Reclaimed bark · acrylic paint · gold botanical motifs · UV resin seal

  • Size: 7 cmx 4.5 at longest/ widest points

  • Finish: Lightweight and sealed for durability · gold motifs sealed to prevent wear

  • Cord: Waxed leather cord included · gold-plated chain available (+£3)

  • Origin: Tyntesfield woodland, North Somerset · National Trust estate · made by hand in Bristol, UK

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.
