Nic Acaster Artist
Through my practice I have developed a curiosity for repurposing large wooden structures and reusing natural materials.
Currently working with reclaimed old timbers taken from the Farleys Barn reinnervation in 2023, (Image opposite). The wood has a beautiful character that lends itself perfectly to the creation of, little Wrens, Crows and Robins.
Recent projects include, artwork made with the timbers and metal from a 30ft Hastings and Rye clinker-built fishing boat called, ''Rosie Haze,'' RX320, (image opposite, as a working vessel on Hastings beach) which I bought and decommissioned in 2016. This art project has taken on many forms to include, a site specific 40ft sculpture of a Blue Whale, cormorants and casting artwork from the bronze propeller shaft.
