The series of works, entitled ‘Trees From The Garden’, is fabricated almost entirely using Worbla – a biodegradable thermoplastic, derived from natural, renewable materials. Each lamp is unique, made-up of individual moulds taken from sections of trees.

Subverting the way we look at trees as a source of construction material, this novel process borrows from the external characteristics of different tree species, rather than extracting for the interior characteristics of finished timber. Each lamp is conceived from a catalogue of tree features using a ‘cut & paste’ method.

Fraser describes the process as akin to a child stacking building blocks – a spontaneous exploration within defined parameters.
