Wood Fossil 13, from the 2026 series, continues the artist’s exploration of ancient opalised wood — a quiet dialogue between fossil, colour, and time. Measuring 9 cm × 3 cm × 6 cm, this sculpture marks the artist’s 526th hand‑carved creation, each curve shaped with patience and respect for the material’s deep geological story.
The piece is presented on Australia’s Coolabah timber, whose warm, textured grain offers a grounded contrast to the opal’s luminous surface. Together, they form a natural pairing of earth and fossil, celebrating the transformation of wood into shimmering stone.
Its certificate features an Australian postage stamp depicting opal fossils, a small but meaningful tribute to the country’s rich fossil heritage and the ancient beauty captured within the sculpture.
