Welcome to the GB Sculptures website...

A long-time poet and writer, and self-employed educational consultant, Gordon Baddeley has been working seriously in wood since 1995.

In his work, the beauty of old wood lies in the patterns and forms it takes up as it weathers and rots over time. He respects the natural form, whilst developing the lines and textures to make something which, has grace and interest.

The idea of giving a new life to wood which is sometimes hundreds of years old is very appealing to Gordon. As some of the titles indicate, the pieces are rarely totally abstract. The shapes, consciously or intuitively, begin to develop human or animal characteristics.

Essentially though, each piece has a morphology which is determined by the wood itself.

The pieces vary from 10cm to over a metre high. They are usually in beech, oak or juniper, which are the most common trees in the woods around his home, near Ambleside in the Lake District.
