Voyager, 2016
After a year Wenham left research and for the next 23 years taught in secondary, primary and special schools, with 9 years’ lecturing at the University of Leicester. He first exhibited his letter-cutting work in 1982; since 1984 it has been shown in the major British exhibitions of lettering arts. Wenham’s work is held in the Crafts Council’s Permanent Collection and in private collections in Britain, the USA, Germany, Japan and Puerto Rico.
The wood was found on Criccieth beach after a sea voyage and a rather violent and abrasive coming ashore. The type of wood is unknown, but Wenham suspects rhododendron.
The words are the first stanza of a poem by Emily Dickinson (1830-1886), but the image Martin had in mind was the imaginary animation of the Voyager spacecraft leaving the solar system and heading out 'into deep eternity' beyond.
A free copy of Martin Wenham’s new book Martin Wenham The Art of Letter Carving, published by Crowood Press (price £25), will accompany each purchase from the exhibition.
