Nature Conservation 1881
English cherry-wood saved from a carving project abandoned in the 1980s. Part of the aim in designing this piece was to allow the letters to grow together as a community, as plants do.
The words are from Inversnaid by Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844-1889). Written in 1881, they are remarkably prescient of more recent and increasingly urgent concerns or respect and restraint in our interactions with our natural environment. The poem ends;
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.
A free copy of Martin Wenham’s new book Martin Wenham The Art of Letter Carving, published by Crowood Press (price £25), will accompany each purchase from the exhibition.
