These are in the walkway between Ducca Restaurant and the Contemporary Jewish Museum.  They are titled Stream of Vessels, done in 1997 by David Nash of charred oak.

David Nash  is a British sculptor based in Blaenau Ffestiniog.  He is known for works in wood and shaping living trees. His large wood sculptures are sometimes carved or partially burned to produce blackening. His main tools for these sculptures are a chainsaw and axe to carve the wood and a blowtorch to char the wood.

He attended Brighton College from 1959 to 1963, then Kingston College of Art from 1963 to 1967 and the Chelsea School of Art as a postgraduate from 1969 to 1970.
