As a response to the texture, colours and form of a conker shell, I have created this piece using MDF wood and dowel rod. The sculpture has two separate sides (similar to a shell holding a conker before broken) that fit together into a right angle at the base using a tight finger joint. Both sides have unevenly lengthed spikes (sharpened dowel rod) tightly fit into multiple drilled holes - It slots together with no extra fittings required. The lime green, yellow, brown and burgundy colours used focus on the realistic colouring of the natural form of a conker shell, but the inverted shape with straight edges is quite the opposite.
