Callums Pankhurst's wall works revolves around creating tactile and dynamic pieces that are entirely handcrafted, showcasing an appreciation for the inherent qualities of the natural materials employed. His work exemplifies a masterful fusion of materiality, process, and craftsmanship.

In the process, Pankhurst seeks to merge traditional craftsmanship with contemporary aesthetics, allowing the materials to guide creation. The unique characteristics of brass, wood, and plaster are celebrated with a deep understanding how each material interacts with light and space. This understanding shapes artistic decisions as the materials are sculpted.

Natural patina is encouraged over time, a process that adds depth and character to the work. Wood and brass are used for unique texture, grains, warmth and colour. Plaster is a versatile material, readily sculpted, encouraging contour.

The artistic process is both meditative and labor-intensive. Pankhurst values the physical act of shaping the materials by hand, embracing the imperfections that arise and infusing the artworks with authenticity and human touch, connecting on an emotional level.
