Eroding Earth #1

Sandblasting sequoia shows how the soft summer growth erodes at a different rate compared to its harder winter counterpart. The ridged and recessed results mirror the wood’s growth between seasons: summerfast, winter-slow. Both pieces are etched by time-grown and time-worn materiality. Cycles of organic growth and formal exploration here recall one of civilization’s oldest object forms, both used to contain and commemorate. Each vessel finds itself articulated in novel form, shaped unlike its predecessors in the studio, yet still spurred on by memory’s haptic suggestion.
