Re-Creations by James Nixon

"Artisans of salvaged Australian timber and individually crafted furniture, mirrors and art."

Re-Creations was born a little over 6 years ago in the hope that its pieces would leave a tell tail sign that I had lived, and left my mark. Life at times can move pretty fast and we clock out at any time. Through an accident, nearly causing an ending, Re-Creations became a beginning.

Each Re-Creation piece is designed and built with the recycling of what it once was before. It began with timber framed mirrors, deep and oversize, still the backbone of the business. It then moved into furniture, domestic and commercial, raw and refined. It has now moved, a little more laterally into artistic lighting and free form sculpture. Lighting constructed from linear gas and water piping, vintage beer taps and salvaged stage lights, its raw, bold and visually stimulating.

Each piece speaks individually, holding an intimate conversation with the viewer.

"These pieces are like a breathing art form. Some of the materials are over 100 years old, their worn lustre and visual history resonates with the viewer in a memorable and moving way".
