Planters

2022

‘Barbed Planter’
• Glazed ceramics, 24 Carat gold leaves + varnish
• Height: 58 cm | Width: 46 cm

The spikes defend and protect the plant. They make it hard to reach it, handle it, move it. The “Barbed” Planter makes sure the plant will thrive and blossom in peace.

‘The Green Man Planter’
• Glazed ceramics, 24 Carat gold leaves + varnish
• Height: 34,5 cm | Width: 34 cm

The Green Man is a legendary being, a pagan (pre-Christian) figure related to nature and tree worship. Wich was still influential in the Middle Ages. The Green man is a symbol of rebirth, representing the cycle of new growth that occurs every spring and the renewal of lush vegetation.

Both planters are made for FRACAS Gallery at ART-O-RAMA 2022 (Marseille, FR)
