Nigel Ross - Cross Way & Arbor (2003)

Self taught sculptor Nigel Ross knows a thing or two about trees.

The one-time tree surgeon and forest contractor uses his expertise to carve abstract forms and sculptural furniture.

His work can be found in woodlands, gardens and schools as well as the interiors of new buildings and homes.

He began working full-time as an artist in the mid-'90s, taking his inspiration from the rhythms and energy of nature.

Each piece is carved from a single tree trunk.
These benches are on Montgomery Square, Canary Wharf. They are created from European larch and elm.

Nigel Ross lives in Scotland.
