David Nash is one of the pioneers of sculpture as a process involving nature and the environment. His work evolves out of a direct relationship with nature and the living forms of trees and he also employs the dynamic elements of fire and water in his sculptures.
He has undertaken commissions and has exhibited in countries throughout the world since 1973 and has work in many major public collections in Europe, North America and Japan. He has also been responsible for numerous publications about his work
