Contemporary

Traditional carving is evolving continually and this produces some wonderful contemporary pieces that incorporate elements of current artistic creativity with more traditional forms and symbolism.

The pieces in this collection display creative direction that we believe deserves to be identified as contemporary. Where there are traditional forms and symbolism incorporated we have explained this in the individual carving or art descriptions. We hope you enjoy these as much as we do!
