The Elegance of Decay
This series of vases, for displaying dried flowers and grasses, are handcrafted from spalted beech wood. The title of the pieces refers to the ‘spalting' or black markings in the beech, created when the wood is attacked by fungus. These pieces were turned on the lathe and then finished, creating tones in white, cream and beige highlighting the black fungal markings.
