In the Spotlight: The Huntspinney of Sequoyya

Jimbo Warth draws on Californian redwood forests for his Sylvaneth, combining warm bark with pale, weathered highlights. Real twigs, leaves and other natural materials make the bases part of the forest, while repeated orange and sepia glazes bring the varied tree-creatures into one coherent collection.
