The series of works, entitled ‘Trees From The Garden’, is fabricated almost  using 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. Sustainability and efficiency are foundational to this project. Deeply personal in nature, this project reflects Fraser’s lifelong connection to the garden and trees that surround his childhood home. This environment, ever-present in his early years, has been an enduring source of inspiration, embodying the curiosity and creativity of youth. By preserving and reinterpreting the unique features of the trees, Fraser not only celebrates their beauty but also channels the lasting influence they have had on his artistic journey.

“These trees are a part of who I am as a designer. This garden is where I first connected with nature and developed an understanding of ecology. It holds a personal nostalgia unlike anywhere else on earth. Each tree has a different personality – some strong and good for climbing, some intricate and good for hiding, and some totally transform as the seasons pass. Re-immersing myself in the garden after 20 years away has been creatively profound.”
