Splated Apple

Year:

2025

This hand-carved apple sculpture is masterfully crafted from a single solid piece of spalted ash, beautifully showcased atop a concrete and oak base that grounds the work in natural and industrial elements. The hand-forged leaves and stem add an intricate, artisanal detail, enhancing the organic form and bringing the piece to life. The true beauty of this sculpture lies in the natural figure of the wood grain, accentuated by the striking markings created by the disease that once claimed the tree. Rather than concealing these imperfections, David celebrates them, highlighting the wood’s character and history. This piece is a powerful homage to nature’s resilience and the beauty found in imperfection. It invites viewers to appreciate the delicate balance between life and decay, craftsmanship and natural process, creating a timeless tribute to the organic spirit of wood.
