Craig Barrow is an artist and designer working in the areas of object, sculpture and space. Seeing design as responses to the world’s curiosities and shared relationships, his body of work stems from material exploration and production processes, observations of human interaction with objects and scientific and natural phenomena.

An ongoing experiment into producing objects carved from sand blasted floral foam, using a technique mimicking the aeolian process. In this instance a series of candlestick holders were made.
Taking influence from classic art deco designs, profiles were cut and attached to blocks of floral foam. When sandblasted, the profiles are extruded producing bellowing, free-flowing tails creating layers of movement, texture and time.
The resultant forms are slip cast in porcelain; the smooth, polished faces of the original profiles are a stark contrast to the intricately textured, rock-like sides.
I first explored this technique in my Phenol Formaldehyde-Latex Chair.
