This piece Spore Patterns from the Lichen Series originally debuted at the Grants Pass Museum of Art exhibit; ‘where art & nature meet’ as a site specific wall piece. Afterwards, all four hundred+ parts stayed in a box for a few years while I figured out what to do with them.
During this past years Open Studios event, this installation reemerged from the depths and onto the wall as an engaging, sometimes eye-tricking single piece. Your perception of the piece changes as you move around it and when the light moves, it plays with the sense of depth.
Inspired by shelf fungus forms, gill structures and dropping spore markings of mushrooms, this piece would be a statement in any room, and would make a striking display for a lobby or restaurant space. It is 48″ x 48″ x 3″, ceramic mounted on painted wood panel, hangs by metal cleats on the backside, $4000.
Due to shipping variations, this piece is not in the online shop, but is available for purchase and shipping as needed. Please contact me directly if you’re interested in this piece.
from our family to yours…
hope you get to eat all the goodies, enjoy the all the company and are grateful for the adventure.
wishing you all a happy thanksgiving
Urchins Holes are hand built, perforated flanges of very thin, nearly translucent porcelain fused to a stoneware ring as it’s protector. Inspired by the sea urchins natural homes of holes in mudstone rocks visible at very low tides. The holes are actually formed by the urchins themselves, who bite away at the rock with their teeth and slowly sculpt their protected home around them.
Only 5 are available in the online shop and they make a perfect gift for the art + nature lover in your life!
