Duke Christie is an artist living and working in Moray, Scotland. Within his work Christie strives to make objects which reflect the simple things that enrich our lives and remind us of our essential relationship with the natural world. Christie makes sculpted forms with hand-carved textures. The pieces are often torched, scrubbed, and pigmented to enhance the grain, creating a fascinating play of light on highly tactile surfaces. Christie's work aspires to celebrate wood with all its imperfections, telling the story of the tree's life written in its grain.
