Earlier this year I got hold of this unusually shaped piece of Plane tree timber. It has a big crack in it and it reminded me of avocado, cut in half. But it also reminded me of a tree that had been struck by lighting. I wondered what I could do with it, eventually, after much thought I came up with this. Plane tree timber is not the best timber to cut letters into, cutting into the grain the wrong way makes it very difficult to get sharp letters. But this was the result, I hope you like it.
"Blowin' in the Wind" is a song written by Bob Dylan in 1962 and released on his album The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan in 1963. Although it has been described as a protest song, it poses a series of rhetorical questions about peace, war and freedom. The refrain "The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind" has been described as "impenetrably ambiguous: either the answer is so obvious it is right in your face, or the answer is as intangible as the wind".
In 1994, the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. In 2004, it was ranked No: 14 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
