Tom Heywood

Overview
'I worked on this project for just over a year, through all elements of the weather. Like all of my works they have been created by the wonder of nature, once a trees life cycle has come to an end I take it upon myself to work on the timber and transform it into a certain form. I take great satisfaction when my forms are placed into natural landscapes where they were created, it’s always quite a powerful moment'
