Red Cut is a central focal point sculptural bench seat carved from walnut wood.
There are many layers within the process of creation of the Red Cut bench and the origin of its conception and design.
There is within the centre of the piece a rift and division of structure, gap set as a jolted shift. It is deliberately not symmetrical, yet the form exists in a state of balance embodying the trepidation of potential dis-juncture. The scars to the most part have been left visible and open. The central body cut fracture is held together with stainless steel pins, which can be glimpsed within.
The surface is weathered, blown with raised grain not silky smooth to the touch.
The sitter though is invited to explore and linger. Interlocking carved dished hollows give comfort to rest upon. The ‘isle’ type form allows visitors to sit almost back to back or off set to the side – an opportunity to perhaps engage in conversation and wonder.
