Interpreting the sculpture as a tree-like structure, Jan Hendzel Sudio created a central 12-sided column from 12 machined staves, with precise hand-cut slots arranged around the top edge. Crown-cut boards were selected for the staves, with their flame-like grain offering a beautiful natural pattern reminiscent of a tree trunk. Once glued, the trunk supports cantilever arms holding 24 CNC-cut and hand-finished characters of Peckham. Simple in form but grand in scale, the technicality of this piece is hidden to the viewer within the construction of the trunk and a bespoke timber bracket used to secure the characters in place.
