“Alison Crowther has been working for fifteen years with one material – English oak. Her carved forms express the intimacy she has developed with this wood and an engagement which could last her lifetime. The forms are simple but refer to complex histories of how the tree grew, how it was wrenched and twisted to support the weight of its limbs over its centuries of life.”
