Adrian McCurdy

Adrian McCurdy’s lifelong connection with wood has shaped a unique practice where fine art and craftsmanship merge. Adrian embraces the raw authenticity of riven wood, using hand tools to release the natural shapes hidden within each log. His designs emerge gradually, responding to the wood’s grain, character, and history—sometimes years after a log is first selected. The flow of oak grain is a constant feature in this new exhibition. Inspired by local rivers and ponds, the natural patterns of wood grain take on a pictorial quality.
