Primula Veris (Cowslip Primrose)

This series explores the fragility of botanicals—slender stems, intricate stalks, and hidden forms within buds and seeds. Each sculpture rests on live edge olive wood, prized for its veining and sacred significance in the Judeo-Christian tradition. Together, these forms and raw wood deepen our sensitivity to nature’s beauty, inviting appreciation of the Creator’s sustaining hand in all things.

Hand built, ceramic, olive wood.
