| Your Personal Biography |
Martin Pigg is a full time wood sculptor, based in Norfolk. After graduating from Merrist Wood College in 2002 as a qualified Tree Surgeon, Martin worked as a tree surgeon in England and New Zealand before discovering his passion and talent for wood sculpting.
Much of the wood Martin 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.
In the course of his work he has developed a deep love for wood and a unique perspective of its diverse growth patterns and shaping from the elements. This knowledge has led him to follow these natural forms in his carving, working into natural moulding of shape and texture to create pieces of great beauty, strength and reflective the natural world.
