Sasha Sykes specializes in creating bespoke artistic furniture. Drawing inspiration from the rural, agricultural heritage of her native Ireland, Sasha's work combines high tech and organic materials. Her first piece to receive international attention was a simple plexiglas cube packed with straw stems from her family's farm in County Carlow. Subsequently all of her work has focused on her fundamental inspiration: the natural cycle of growth, life and decay. "I like to re-present the incredible beauty of the rural world in another context. Working with acrylics and resins allows me to expose the textures and forms within a familiar overall structure, creating a rural aesthetic for urban times." Sasha's work has been featured in The New York Times and numerous prestiguous publications in the UK and Ireland (Vogue, GQ, IDFX, Living etc, The Telegraph Magazine) and is just recently being exposed to the New York market.
