‘Revealing’

This piece of work shows the stages of a conker opening and finally the nut rooting. There is something really fascinating about conkers with their spiky protective shells and shiny brown nuts. They take me straight back to childhood and the hope filled search for a really big one. The piece can be laid out in a line on a plinth, or dotted about in a more natural way.

The final rooting nut gives a sense of movement , caught in the act of growing, it points to the future.The set of conkers consisting of 2 large conkers, a section of shell and a rooting nut is £650. The large nuts can be purchased individually for £250.00 each.

The large conkers are about football sized, they are made from stoneware pottery and will last forever outside.
