Dylan Waldron

Description

In Dylan Waldron’s garden stands a mature oak grown from an acorn planted by the artist and his wife over thirty years ago, from which the acorns placed within the bowl were later gathered. Some years afterwards, Waldron encountered a hand-turned oak bowl near his studio, its material directly recalling the tree he had observed over several decades. The conjunction of these elements establishes a closed sequence in which an acorn gives rise to a tree, the tree yields timber, the timber is shaped into a bowl and the bowl is used to contain acorns once again.
