Véronique Desmet is a Belgian artist currently living in New Zealand.
In this work, she used mature Pōhutukawa to make the seat. The central hole is a natural shape that appeared during the cleaning process of the wood. this piece has been burned in an open fire, and then assembled.
The legs are made of mature Totara, from old NZ fence posts.
The work is finished with a natural NZ oil finish.
A strong relationship with nature is at the source of the artist creation. Her working rhythms, materials, quality of finish, and place for creation are all linked with nature.
This is a unique piece, conceived and realised by the artist.
