Hickory Standing Form

A vase lifted on slender metal stilts, its stance feels almost human—balanced, poised, ready to move. The back is smooth and structured, shaped from hickory’s strong grain, while the front reveals the tree’s wilder face: figured, twisted, and full of character. The duality gives the piece its presence—refined yet raw, elevated yet grounded. A vessel that feels alive, caught mid-stride, holding both grace and grit in its form.
