‘Charred forest II’ Hand Sculpted Black Stoneware Vase

While covid ravaged up front and centre, a quiet killer permeated all corners of the earth. Ice melts, sea levels rise, wild fires rage. These affects are no longer hidden in the depths of dwindling rainforests or a in 40 degree temperature spike in the distant Antarctic. The changes are real and far reaching. The aftermath of wildfires, the charred forest, beautiful, majestic and terrifying.
