David Elliott

I am an artist and woodworker based in Yorkshire, UK.

I make sculptural works from wood and natural materials, exploring rhythm, repetition, and texture. A significant influence on my work is minimal musical composition, particularly its use of repetition, subtle variation, and sustained intervals. I aim to translate these compositional ideas into physical form, creating sculptures that feel paced, measured, and quietly dynamic.

I also create pieces inspired by nature's interaction with physical structures. I am interested in the tension between organic growth and human-made order—how natural forces soften, disrupt, or reshape rigid systems over time. These pieces reflect quiet acts of persistence—organic forms pressing through rigid structures.
