"Brain Coral Bowl"
Sculptural Prayer
This bowl started out as a 6" inch circle of flat brass. I raised it to a bowl shape through a process of hammering to make it look like Caribbean Brain Coral. I studied corals while on a vacation in the Caribbean and found that this particular type captured my senses, and I felt inspired to create a vessel to remember this experience.
The top edge of the bowl was hand cut with a jeweler's saw and the exterior and interior patterns were achieved through a process of illustration and acid etching.
