- Name: Si Uwins
- Caption: Alien Nature These elegant and intriguing pieces of ‘alien nature’ are directly inspired by natural, organic forms. The shapes and textures of the tiny fruits and seeds of wild flowers is a theme Si continually explores, enlarging them to giant sizes to celebrate the beauty of these minute wonders of nature. Si grew up surrounded by the woods and fields of southern England where he still lives and works. The woods provide the raw materials and often the inspiration for his distinctive sculpture. Carved from Oak, the most English of woods, Elm, Sweet Chestnut or Robinia, a dense, durable, exotic wood, the sculptures will continue to weather and evolve to a silver driftwood like colour over time.
