About

Mozwik is a British sculptor working with found and naturally weathered wood from the old woodlands and chalk hills of southern England. His practice sits between Arte Povera, Land Art, and organic abstraction, but remains firmly rooted in a direct, personal relationship with the landscape. Rather than carving raw timber into predetermined shapes, he works with forms that time has already authored, pausing them mid-transformation and holding a fleeting moment of change still.

Guided by entropy as a quiet collaborator, Mozwik gathers fallen limbs from ancient yew, oak, ash and other native species, along with timbers marked by decades of weather, erosion, and decay. His role is less about imposing form and more about recognising the instant a structure becomes legible, when a piece of wood seems to step forward and ask to be seen.

Pareidolia — the tendency to see faces, figures, and stories in ambiguous shapes — sits at the heart of the work. Like the shifting image of a Necker cube, Mozwik’s sculptures resist a single reading: they flicker between figure and landscape, presence and absence, creature and forest. This instability is intentional, inviting viewers to complete the image themselves and making perception part of the sculpture rather than something that happens after it.

Underlying all of this is a simple preoccupation with time, transformation, and our own sense of impermanence. These works interrupt slow, natural decay just long enough for us to notice it, and to feel how brief our own moment is within the much longer life of the land. Stories carried quietly in wood, stone and soil.
