About the Item

Unique London Plane Amphora by Matt Kavanagh. Signed by Matt Kavanagh. One of a Kind. Dimensions: W 19 x D 16 x H 66.5 cm. Materials: London Plane, scorch wax, chemical black. Unique piece, hand-signed by the artist and engraved with the precise geographic coordinates of the tree’s origin. Made from a log of London Plane. Carved green using a varied dimple pattern, scorched, burnished and waxed. Handles from the same wood incorporated in to the neck. Partially hollowed. Sits on a display stand made from chemically blackened steel. Coordinates: A Collection of Functional Sculpture In his latest growing body of work, South London-based creator, Matt Kavanagh, presents Coordinates, a striking collection of functional sculpture, crafted from locally foraged urban hardwoods. Each piece is a unique collaboration between artist and material, trees salvaged from the city's many green spaces become vessels of memory, geography, and craftsmanship. Every work is inscribed with the coordinates of where the timber was discovered and its species, anchoring it to a specific location where for many decades the tree defined its urban surroundings. These pieces are not just sculptures, they are geographic relics, transformed through craft into enduring, functional forms. Coordinates is both a homage to the constantly evolving natural history of the urban environment and a testament to the enduring dialogue between maker and material. Currently working as a designer and maker artist, based in Second Floor Studio Arts, Deptford, Kavanagh’s focus is on innovation and experimentation, leveraging his deep knowledge of craft processes and material experimentation to explore ideas and develop sculpture, often based loosely around the typologies of furniture, product lighting. His practice is predominantly solo, with occasional collaborations, including Translocated Making with the Royal College of Art, research degree program. Sustainability has been a recurring theme throughout his career and in 2019 he initiated a project using salvaged nitrous oxide canisters, which was launched as NOS SPHERE in 2020. This was featured in the Financial Times and many publications and went on to win the prestigious European Product Design award and the Build Back Better Green award. More recently he has been working on a collection of functional sculptures made from fallen trees in South London. To date Kavanagh has participated in dozens of shows, both individual and group, across Europe and America and his work has been featured in books and press publications internationally.
