Timothy Davis
Timothy Davis is a self-taught sculptor based in the UK, working primarily with locally sourced wood, cast pewter and resin. His practice centres on material responsiveness, allowing grain, fissures and natural tension within the wood to guide form. Through a process-led approach, he captures moments of impact and transformation, often embedding cast metal forms within carved timber surfaces. His work explores the relationship between natural material and unseen forces, revealing how pressure, gravity and disruption become visible through material change.
I work intuitively with wood, resin and cast pewter, responding to what the material already holds — tension, movement and latent energy within the grain. By pouring molten pewter into water, I allow gravity, temperature and resistance to shape explosive, unrepeatable forms. These fleeting moments of impact are fixed within carved timber surfaces. My practice explores how unseen forces become visible through material transformation, and how disruption can reveal what was already present beneath the surface.
