Keith A. Petit is a sculptor and woodblock artist; both strands of his work are rooted in the natural world. His native Sussex, with its history and landscape of weald, woodland, chalk, farmland and coast, informs and shapes his pieces. Frequently working with found wood, Pettit immerses himself in a process of seeking and revealing forms and images. His most cherished artworks are those with substance, something with nature’s depths woven in. His urge to tell a story often finds expression not only in the properties of the wood but also in its intended site so that it feels almost like the environment has conspired to create the object, rather than having something imposed upon it.
