About The Event
During the intensive residency, Freemantle was able to dive deeper into an already existing
relationship with nature. The paintings harnessed their colours from the late autumnal blaze as
he began the residency in 2023, each day introducing a new colour into his palette. Not long
after he arrived he began incorporating wood carving into his practice. He was gifted a century-
old Cedar tree which fell during storm Arwen (November 2021) on the Marchmont Estate nearby
the studio and set about carving it in sections with a chainsaw, grinder and various hand tools.
The surface of the wood was then charred and finally finished with beeswax.
