Botanical Relic No.13:
Lilly - Eastbrook, ME
Creating each botanical relic is a journey that begins in the heart of nature, among the serene woodlands and along the windswept coastlines of Down East Maine. As dawn breaks, I wander through these enchanting landscapes, hand-selecting delicate botanicals at the peak of their beauty, each one whispering its unique story.
With careful hands, I press these fragile treasures into soft clay, capturing their intricate details and the essence of their natural forms. The moment is one of quiet reflection, a meditation on the ephemeral beauty of the natural world. Each impression becomes a timeless memory, preserved in the embrace of the clay.
The transformation continues in the studio, where the impressions are cast in pristine plaster. This alchemical process breathes new life into the botanicals, turning them into enduring works of art. Each piece emerges as a delicate, ethereal tribute to the beauty of nature, a harmony of form and texture that speaks to the soul.
Every botanical relief is a testament to the romance of nature and the artistry of the handmade. It’s a celebration of the moments spent in the embrace of the wilderness, transformed into timeless art for your home.
This piece measures 8x4" and has a loop for hanging on the back.
