Handmade Driftwood Sculpture by David at Salty Seas

Biography

Salty Seas has always had the belief that connecting with like minded souls who are passionate about the Great British coast, not only helps promote our amazing coastal heritage but also through our art, be seen as a wealth of knowledge and inspiration. Using years of research and gathered experiences, we will continue to create original inspiring designs that evoke those special memories and nostalgia to help those stories continue for future generations.

My work revolves around creating unique and eye-catching driftwood sculptures. The process of gathering and repurposing the driftwood I find along the coast allows me to incorporate a sense of nature and the seaside into my art. I find inspiration in the textures, shapes, and colors of the driftwood and use my design skills to transform them into one-of-a-kind pieces. My goal is to bring a touch of the coast into people's homes and remind them of the beauty and serenity of the seaside.

Using driftwood has an amazing tactile quality and natural texture that is inspirational to mould into physical snapshots of favourite coastal villages, harbours and remote outcrops. Every piece is carefully chosen for its natural appearance and used as found, which challenges you to find how it speaks to you as a potential finished sculpture. Some pieces have an ethereal texture which mimics the cascading waves or a weathered cliff face and its satisfying to bring that natural effect to the fore.
