Ash & Plumb is the creative partnership of Barnaby Ash & Dru Plumb, who work in their shared workshop in the South Downs. They specialise in making distinctive and individual sculptural artworks and vessels. Using responsibly sourced green (unseasoned) Oak for their sculptural creations, they collaborate in a way which celebrates the natural beauty of the tree, embracing every aspect of its character.
Echoes draws on historical forms which are translated into a contemporary visual language of their own, a practice they had begun to develop during their first solo exhibition with The Gallery in 2021. Their practice has significantly evolved in the last few years, both in terms of increased complexity of the vessels but also the breadth of their historical references. They have created a significant and diverse variety of forms that play with proportion and scale from a set of miniature vessels through to monumental vessels up to 80cm in height.
