Cylindrical Bark Vase

Cylindrical Bark Vase is a sculptural study in texture, form, and the quiet poetry of the forest. Crafted to echo the natural contours of tree bark, the exterior surface bears deep, organic relief—capturing the rugged beauty of aged wood weathered by time and season. This earthy façade contrasts strikingly with the smooth, dark interior, where the glaze gathers like shadow within a hollowed trunk. The irregular rim, reminiscent of a natural break or opening, enhances the sense that this piece might have been discovered rather than made. Both vessel and artifact, the work celebrates clay’s ability to mimic and honor nature while remaining unmistakably handmade, inviting viewers to consider the enduring connections between material, landscape, and human touch.
