David Wood is a sculptor and metalsmith whose work is deeply rooted in the tradition of handcrafting and the philosophy of creating with what is at hand. With decades of experience, his artistic practice is a continuous exploration of aesthetics, nature, and the human spirit, shaped by keen observation and physical engagement in the making process.

​

Guided by the underlying principles of mathematics and physics, Wood’s work merges functionality with conceptual depth, blurring the boundaries between the practical and the cerebral. Whether crafting functional objects or purely sculptural pieces, his focus remains on how each creation emotionally and intellectually engages the viewer.

​

Through his creative process, Wood seeks to connect spirit to place, furthering and upholding the long-standing traditions of smithing and metalwork, while pushing the boundaries of contemporary craftsmanship.
