Original artwork description:

Original Sculpture by Alan Harris.
Dimensions 50.8 x 22.86 x 22.86 cm
The central element of this sculpture is a trumpet embedded in a solid piece of oak wood. This design represents the connection between nature and music, symbolizing the melodies inherent in the original elements of nature. The sculpture incorporates discarded musical objects, which are combined to create a new piece that stands on its own with a fresh meaning.

Harris's artistic philosophy revolves around the concept of transformation, as he utilizes broken or discarded objects to breathe new life into them. His method reverberates with the principles of Kintsukuroi, an ancient Japanese art form that not only repairs but also enhances the beauty of the initial damage through golden highlights. This technique emphasizes the idea of celebrating imperfections while preserving the stories embedded within each piece.
"With a deep reverence for the past and a commitment to figurative artistry, my work reflects a desire to honor the journey of these objects while inviting viewers to engage with their new life. Each sculpture serves as a testament to resilience and the transformative power of art, encouraging contemplation on both personal and collective narratives"
