Ross Wackett is a skilled craftsman with a background as an engineering patternmaker. His extensive experience includes working with Willinga Park, and his work has been collected in notable locations including Sydney, Byron Bay, and the South Coast.

Wackett draws profound inspiration from the intricate and unique patterns found in native hardwoods. His creative process is driven by a passion for revealing the hidden beauty within each piece of weathered timber, transforming it into an artwork that speaks to the natural world. For Wackett, this process is not only about craftsmanship but about discovery—a journey that allows him to explore the inherent artistry of nature.

The form of his work is intentionally designed to reflect the delicate structure of native flora, such as the Gumnut blossom trees. Through his pieces, Wackett captures the essence of nature’s organic shapes, using the timber’s natural grain to tell its own story and evoke a deeper connection to the natural environment.
