spring -Dandelion and Japanese five-lined skink Three-legged Incense Burner-

About this work

A three-legged incense burner bearing dandelion seed heads and a Japanese lizard, formed in brass, copper, and tin with applied colored foil. The surface combines forging and chasing techniques to render botanical and reptilian details, while the foil layers lend a subdued warmth suggestive of sunlit spring grassland. Functioning as a usable vessel, the piece channels childhood memories of observing familiar flora and fauna into an object where nostalgia is embedded within quiet, practical form.
