For his functional wood sculptures, Alan Meredith selects green Irish oak rich with imperfections and surface variations, then steam-bends each piece into a shape with both visual heft and lightness of form, as if reduced to the wood’s most essential qualities. The “Altered” series is then sandblasted with high-pressure recycled glass to enhance the natural grain and structure of the tree, and subjected to a fuming process that reacts with tannins to develop warm, deep color within the very wood itself. 

Due to the handmade nature of these objects and the inherent unpredictability of wood, each is one-of-a-kind, and imperfections should be expected and celebrated.
