5-6 cm diameter
multi-fired, oxidized and glazed clay
Fill your home with a sense of awe and wonder with this birch vase, which is both representational in appearance and multilayered in meaning. According to the artist, trees have hidden complex lives, and commonality can be found with them; trees speak about vulnerability, community, beauty, brokenness, nurture, help and hope.
