About the Artwork

Fenestra Contemporary Wooden Statue, by Martin Pigg the so Successful pr”actitioner in Wood saya…is inspired by the washed up shells I find on my beach walks in my home county of Norfolk. Shaped by the North Sea, these natural forms take on a whole new level of fragility and beauty.

Fenestra is made from the timber of a wind blown Ancient English Oak tree.
In 2015 storm Desmond struck Norfolk and toppled a beautiful ancient Oak tree in Harford Park in Norfolk. I personally dismantled and removed the tree from the park.
The tree had been hollowed out by a decay fungus called Fistulina hepaticacauses. Fistulina causes brown rot in oak, giving the timber a rich colour known as brown oak. working in the Arboricultural industry for twenty three years, I have only come across brown oak a handfull of times.

Artist Comment

For a long time I didn't dare carve the wood because of it's rarity. In 2023 I plucked up the courage and started carving and completed Fenestra using this beautiful ancient timber.

  • The ArtParkS Guarantee

    All the sculptures on the website are described by the artists themselves, stating the material they are made from and their dimensions. If they are stated to be suitable for outdoors, they have a guarantee of 10 years, subject to the effects of weathering, which will alter their colour and finish over the years unless you give them regular cleaning and maintenance.

    For instance, bronze, and to a lesser extent bronze resin/cold cast bronze, will acquire a green patina, usually rather sought after. All can attract moss, lichen, and a greenish pollen, especially under trees, which should be removed regularly with warm water and washing-up liquid.

    Iron and steel will oxidise (rust), and this falls outside our guarantee.

    Organic material like wood and bark willow is variable and depends to a great extent on where it is sited. You should discuss any guarantee directly with the artist, as this too falls outside our guarantee.

  • How Does ArtParkS Ensure Your Protection?

    From the moment you place an order and pay ArtParkS, you are protected because half of the payment is immediately used to pay the artist’s deposit, while the other half is retained until the sculpture is delivered safely.

    Insurance in transit should be arranged with the artist prior to ordering.

  • Why Choose ArtParkS for Your Purchase?

    When you choose a work of art from ArtParkS, you can be confident that it has been selected by ArtParkS’s curators and will be dispatched directly from the artist’s studio or foundry only after passing their quality control process.

  • How to Purchase from ArtParkS

    You can either speak with or correspond with Peter at ArtParkS before placing an order, or simply click the Buy Nowbutton and follow the instructions, adding the delivery charge unless the artist is offering free delivery.

    Payment can be made by Direct Debit, cheque, credit or debit card, or PayPal, though we try to avoid the latter as we have to pass on their 5% fee to you.

    Your sculpture can be delivered anywhere in the world, provided a delivery vehicle can gain access. For special arrangements, contact Peter at peter@artparks.co.uk or +44(0)1481 235571.
