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.

Nash says of this work, ‘often, in the general maintaining and clearing up of my carving yard, pieces of wood come together by chance and suggest, even demand, to be carved as a group. Three Humps is such a piece.’
