Wings of Morning Collection.
On the west slope of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, dawn doesn't break gently. As the sun claws its way up the east slope of the Sierra, crosses Donner Pass and breaks forth into the west coast, it does so with spectacle and brilliance. Morning does not arrive gradually but arrives with a symphony of grandness and gratefulness -- it springs forth on wings.
This series of oaken bowls is inspired from our living with the glory of sunrise. And with reasonable care, can be passed on to generations to celebrate each new day also is about welcoming new opportunity.
Wings of Morning bowls are a series of winged natural bark edge bowls from native Sierra Foothill oak, and are 8 to 11 inches at their widest. Unlike others, oaks from this narrow range in the western foothills, are close grained and are quite stable with regard to holding their bark attached. Each is slightly different than the illustration, as in each case, in the process of creation I have to respect the nature of the wood and what we have to work with. All celebrate the glory of opportunity -- each is a salute to the daily gift we have to start anew.
