Simmer Down III

A large 1.8m tall sycamore crucible, this piece, turned by hand on a woodturning lathe to a thickess of approximately 4mm has been hand textured using a U shaped gouge to give a pitted surface all over. The base is encrusted with hundreds of small, individually turned oak vessels which have been scorched. The vessels appear to be encasing the large sycamore crucible which is part of the symbolism of the work.
