Pyramid, Sphere, Cube

Another work by David Nash that particularly interested me was his very literal "Pyramid, Sphere, Cube" (1997) sculpture.  It consists of a pyramid, sphere and made out of Oak that has been charred on the outside to make it black.  To me I find it particularly fascinating is the way that Nash takes wood which is completely natural and almost the essence of what one thinks of as nature and transforms it into something that when looked at against the backdrop of grass and plants looks completely out of place and unnatural.  I really like this sense of at once being nature and contradicting nature.
