Mediums Used

Carved Cedar Wood Sculpture, Cedar of Lebanon, English Oak, Ash Wood, Oak Wood, Red Oak Wood, Spalted Beech Wood,

Much of the wood Martin Pigg works with either comes from dead or diseased trees, some of these specimens give the most fantastic grains and shapes to work with and are all sourced locally in Norfolk.
You can see just by looking at his work he has a terrific resonance, love and understanding with the wood he uses.
The contemporary spirit of his work has secured him commissions from around the world. His pieces can be found in Holland Park, Kensington, and several have featured as centrepieces in award winning gardens at Chelsea flower show (a Gold winning garden by Richard Beales); Hampton Court Flower Show (a silver winning garden by Sadie Stowell) and the International garden show Koblenz (the Norwich Garden.) He has won awards at the Southwold Sculpture Competition in Suffolk as has sold pieces to international private collectors in Dubai, Guernsey and America

Credentials

Biography

Martin Pigg`s travels to New Zealand have had a huge impact on his work. The ancient Maori culture and in particular the ethos surrounding the traditional Koru has inspired Martin`s work with its message of life, new beginnings and regeneration.

Martin Pigg says, "The whole ethos behind my carvings is the Maori Koru which represents life, regeneration and new beginnings. I like to think I give the diseased or windblown tree a new life as a sculpture which hopefully will stand for another 200 years. From the start of my tree surgery career I have always collected interesting pieces of wood, hollow stems, burrs, roots etc which in my mind are sculptures in themselves.".

Reviews

martin Pigg`s reviews
The sculpture was also spotted in the back of the TV coverage of the event (see picture), making a fantastic backdrop coupled with the beautiful roses on the stand.

Teaching Experience
So far I have given private tuition to a hand full of students. This year I intend on running small group carving classes.
