Set of rustic
kitchen chairs
‘All materials were sourced from
fallen limbs or rescued from becoming
firewood. Each of the chair backs feature
timbers that are from special places to
me and are displayed as a reminder to
me. These range from local leptospermum
bulldozed from the last local swamp to
make way for housing, a small curved piece
redgum from a tree removed to make way
for a new bridge, pieces of pink gum from
my brother’s farm and coastal ti-tree
collected while on holiday with friends.’
Rustic kitchen
chair
‘The seat is from a forest red
gum sapling removed during road renovations
in the Cobram Forest along the River Murray.
Other timbers are sourced from tree tops
left in windrows for burning at logging
coups in the Toolangi State Forest.’
Rustic coffee
table
