"Home"- Hammered copper bowl with a natural patina. This bowl measures 5" in diameter.
This is the first bowl I ever created. I learned a lot from the process. Although it is a small bowl, it was labor intensive....it took lots of hammering, forming, and fire!!!. The unintentional marring in the middle of the bowl took on the image of a bird's nest. This piece reminds me of how God takes care of creatures large and small...but we/they have to do the work to make things possible...to make our place in the world...and to make our "home" in the world. Making our "home" in the world is not always easy. And like the bowl, we are constantly being hammered, formed, and refined by fire...with the hope of one day emerging into the vessel that was intended...imperfections and all.
