‘Sixer’

This is one of a series of pieces developed to explore memories of childhood games associated with nature.

The conker has very tactile quality, even with the pointed spikes on the shell you want to pick them up and hold them.  Every Autumn a collection would build up looking for the winning one!

The main part of the piece is made in pewter with a felting on the inside where the nut is resting to replicate the inside of the shell.  The wooden nut is a seperate piece to the main shell and is made in Teak with a pewter top that has a matt finish
