Mizunara Bowl
Many of Nash's sculptures explore our dependence on nature – and specifically wood – for basic survival tools and utensils. Mizunara Bowl is one such work. It was made from the trunk of a mizunara or Japanese oak in northern Japan. The oak's lighter sapwood forms a natural edge to the bowl.

Nash sourced the wood for this imposing sculpture near a site he was working at in northern California. His original aim was to find wood for a series of huge spheres. But this piece - four eucalyptus trunks naturally fused together - suggested a square form.
