Roger Ackling was a British artist whose delicate works use magnified sunlight to burn precise lines into found driftwood. This slow, meditative process transforms simple materials into contemplative objects that register time, repetition, and the focused act of making. Ackling’s practice aligns with land art and minimalism, yet remains deeply intimate and hand-scaled.
His pieces embody patience, presence, and gentle transformation.
