Simmer Down I

This is a large 1.2m tall sculptural crucible made from lathe turned sycamore and encrusted in over one thousand small, individually turned and scorched oak pots. The exterior of the pot is extremely black and rugged, almost ugly, symbolising the chaos of life. This is in stark contrast with the interior of the crucible which is of whitened and highly finished sycamore wood which is extremely soft to the touch.
