Objects - Vessel

Fur Wood, Oil Finished

I wanted to share my daily experience of being close to wood through sight and touch to enhance aspects of wood that are usually hidden. In the case of Pleats Vase, the vessel’s shape directly followed the natural twisting of the wood fibre inside a tree trunk. A unique, yet approachable object that invites people to interact with it. Employing a brushing technique emphasized the natural, twisting grain line of wood and provided an almost cloth-like surface. Pleats Vase speaks of the natural poetic beauty of wood and invites people to touch it through its multifaceted, light, and soft appearance.
