This pendant began as a fragment of naturally shed Crimean pine bark — collected from ancient woodland at Tyntesfield, a National Trust estate in North Somerset. The shape arrived as it is; nothing was cut or altered. It is barely larger than a kidney bean. Nature made it this way.
Across its surface, a single gold fan form emerges from deep black — as if something living is pushing through from the inside out. White dots trace the edge like a breath held gently. The bark shaped the composition; the paint followed what was already there.
Ren is the Latin word for kidney. Some pieces arrive already knowing what they are.

What makes this piece yours
One of a kind: The natural grain and edge of the bark make this piece unrepeatable.
Found form: The kidney shape exists in the bark itself — the painting follows what was already there.
Scale: At 2.5 cm, this is one of the smallest original artworks you will ever wear.
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.
