A Conversation with Trees is an exhibition that will be available to view from now until April 23rd at the Claremont Lewis Museum of Art. It is presented by Vince Skelly, who is a furniture maker and sculptor based in California. The display showcases a range of monolithic sculptures and furniture that are made from fallen or recovered local trees from a Claremont windstorm.
Vince Skelly is often inspired by prehistoric themes in the form of its tools, structures, and architecture. He shares, “I tend to turn to megalithic structures for inspiration, including stone Dolmen structures which are, of course, ancient but at the same time feel almost modern in their clean lines, minimalist shapes, and construction by way of natural materials.”
