Ian Turnock 
 | Light Falling Through The Trees

Ian Turnock is an experienced sculptor based in the UK. His works suitable for interior and exteriors explore organic forms using industrial materials such as stainless steel, corten, aluminium and copper to create unique, intricate pieces. Ian creates intricate and detailed drawings from which the final artwork is digitally cut.

Turnock’s sculpture is inspired by complex patterns and structures in nature. Currently his main sources of inspiration are the silhouettes trees form against the sky at different times of the year. Often it is the empty spaces and gaps he is looking for just as much as the leaves and branches themselves, an aesthetic concept known in Japanese culture as ‘Ma’ which is akin to the silences between the notes in music. The Japanese also have a poetic word for the beautiful dappled light and shadows cast by trees on the forest floor: ’Komorebi’.
