David Nash (artist)

David John Nash, OBE RA (born 14 November 1945) is a British sculptor based in Blaenau Ffestiniog.

He spent all his childhood holidays in Ffestiniog, Wales[1] David helped clear and replant a nearby forest that his father owned, and also worked for the Commercial Forestry Group.

It was thought to have been washed out to sea but, after being missing for over five years, the boulder reappeared in June 2009[citation needed].

The sculptor had no idea of its location, and enjoys the notion that wood which grew out of the land will finally return to it.

The dome is sited at a secret location somewhere in Snowdonia and whenever it is filmed, crews are taken there by a circuitous route to guard its security.

In the late 1980s, Nash worked at the Djerassi resident artist program, near Woodside, California, where he used Redwood and Madrone wood for his sculptures.

The inorganic, non-allusive sculptures that Nash makes using unseasoned wood are based on the universal geometry of the cube, the sphere and the pyramid.
