The first of these ceramic pinecones was created in 2018. The artist enters a trance-like state where she dissolves the barrier between her skin and the material, intentionally forgetting any separation. Every impression of her finger prints in the clay creates a petal imbued with a gesture of love and generosity. Every petal is then connected with the utmost care and masterful technique to create each unique, one-of-a-kind piece.

Each pinecone is a collectable, but more than that, each pinecone is a statement that the hand of the artist, the loving labor of the artist, matters. By purchasing a pinecone for your home, or for the home of a friend or loved one, you are not only supporting the artist who created the pinecone, but also bringing that loving gesture into a private domestic space, establishing a monument to preciousness in a space where intimate, intentional, gentle, and loving gestures can flourish.
