Resin and Yew Surfboard
Darren from Bournemouth, Dorset created this stunning resin and wood piece titled 'The Scream'. This incredible surfboard was the first of Darren’s creations following an 18 month treatment session in hospital and to aid his recovery process he went back to creating and making bespoke pieces of “art”.
Darren used a plank of Yew along with clear GlassCast 50 & pigmented resin colours to help recreate the Dorset sea colours which went into this incredible design.
Inspiration and the initial thinking and meaning behind the idea for the Surfboard came from the love of the Coast & creating unusual pieces from wood then protecting and encasing the wood in resin, the deeper meaning being the way that Darren was protected in hospital and surrounded by experts. It was only after finishing the Surfboard that the name “The Scream” was decided upon, after Darren's sister noticed an abstract image within the wood of a twisted and pained face, which may be a reflection of the previous 18 months.
