David Nash is also known as one of the first artists to create ecological or environmental art. He is concerned about our natural environment. For his sculptures he uses wood only from trees that are already condemned to fall. He considers his way of working to be a form of recycling. He tries to use all the wood, and even makes drawing charcoal from the smallest scraps. He uses the natural drying process of the wood. Since wood is 50 percent water, it cracks and changes color as time passes, becoming a continual work-in-progress. Nash calls this "going" artwork. The wood is going back to the earth. He also creates "coming" artwork.   ...  [Displaying 1000 of 2316 characters.]  Artist bio
